The Birthplace of Organized Skiing
The U.S. National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Ishpeming, Michigan near the shores of Lake Superior. A century ago a group of local businessmen and skiing enthusiasts took the first steps to organize the National Skiing Association thus earning for Ishpeming the distinction of being the birthplace of organized skiing in the United States. It is appropriate that the US National Ski and SnowboardHall of Fame should be located in Ishpeming.

The US National Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame was established in Ishpeming in 1954. For the past 50 years, besides recognizing America's skiing greats, it has accumulated an outstanding collection of skiing material, both artifacts and archives, which preserves and reflects the great skiing tradition and heritage of skiing in the United States.
