Follow the growth and development of the sport of skiing from its beginnings nearly 5,000 years ago to the present and beyond. There are over 100 displays including The Story of the 10th Mountain Division, Ski Fashions Throughout History, The Development of the Chairlift and lots more. Ishpeming is known as the "birthplace of organized skiing in America". In 1944, officials of the U.S. Ski Association suggested that a proposed U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame be built in Ishpeming. Built in 1953, The Ski Hall of Fame was housed in its first building until 1992, when it was moved to its present location, a building over five times as large as the original. The new building, with its striking architecture, new displays, gift shop and other amenities make a trip to the U.S. National Ski Hall of Fame a truly memorable experience.
