Sparta touts itself as the "Bicycling Capital of America", and the bicycle theme is definitely on display in front of the museum.

Here is a giant penny farthing, the high wheel bicycle. This is definitely a piece of art and not an artifact, as the bike must stand close to 10 feet tall, far too tall for anyone's legs to reach from the seat to the pedals.

I noticed an identical penny farthing in front of at least one other building as I drove through town.
