Major Taylor Archive
I live for the CABE
The museum is located in the old Worcester courthouse. They did a great job, it's a really nice space and the exhibits are awesome. Some are interactive. There are a few artifacts on display as well as a Durkopp track bike that was thought to be Taylor's. I provided them with a bunch of scans of my postcard collection. They blew them up and displayed them in the small conference room there.
I also met Major Taylor's great granddaughter Karen Donovan and author Todd Balf who wrote the book Major : A Black Athlete, a White Era, and the Fight to Be the World's Fastest Human Being. They were awesome. It was a great experience and I felt fortunate to be part of it. If you're ever near Worcester you should definitely visit.
The last pic of the Major Taylor statue is at the Worcester Public Library. It's less than a mile away from the museum.
