Sheldon's Harley-Davidson

Founded in 1920, N.F. Sheldon's Harley-Davidson®, Inc., has been serving central New England for over 96 years, making it one of the oldest Harley-Davidson® dealers in existence. Their award-winning dealership has a large inventory of new and used motorcycles, MotorClothes® Merchandise, parts and accessories, and a service department second to none. Sheldon's Harley-Davidson®'s rich history is the story of a family business. O.T. Sheldon's Harley-Davidson® opened a new Harley-Davidson® dealership in New London, CT in 1920. In 1922, a dealership became available in Worcester, MA, so he moved the business to Main Street in Worcester (across from Clark University). O.T. Sheldon's Harley-Davidson® owned and operated the dealership until his death in 1943, at which time his wife, Gladys, took over. Gladys Sheldon's Harley-Davidson® ran the family business for two years, and in 1946, sold it to her son Nate. Nate Sheldon's Harley-Davidson® grew the dealership further and in 1956.
