National Ski Hall of Fame, Sports hall of fame in Ishpeming, United States.
The National Ski Hall of Fame is a sports facility in Ishpeming that documents the development of skiing from its early days to modern times. The collections display historical equipment, competition materials, and extensive reference works about skiers and their achievements.
The facility was founded in 1954 when skiing officials proposed creating a place to honor skiers and their accomplishments. A larger building opened later, allowing for expanded collections and exhibition spaces to preserve skiing history.
The place honors skiers whose achievements are displayed through personal items and photographs from their careers. Visitors can discover the stories behind athletes and what made them stand out in the sport.
The museum sits in town and opens Monday through Saturday for visitors of all kinds. The building has a theater and archive areas, so you can spend as much or as little time as you want exploring the exhibits.
The building houses one of America's largest specialized ski libraries with research materials and documents. This archive is a hidden resource for anyone wanting to dig deeper into skiing history and development.
