US Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame & Museum — Attraction in Ishpeming

I visited not to long ago to recollect on my time as a volunteer there and visitor. There is a lack of professionalism with this museum that just can not be ignored. Mainly the second floor exhibits were set up so strangely and what looked like a program had taken place there had not been removed so my girlfriend and I were not able to see the entire collection. The lighting on the ground floor is horrible and the fonts that were used made things difficult to read. Looks like nothing has been updated in years. For being a National Hall of Fame I am very disappointed. I have a bachelors and masters in history and have to say this is not a place to recommend unless they get someone who knows what they are doing there. A museum curator is a must for the future of this place. I'll say this too, not worth paying for. Used to be free with suggested donation. Now there is an entrance fee and that fee is...

We had relatives fly in from Colorado to visit with grandkids…checked site regularly to make sure they would be OPEN….we drove several hours to meet up with them !!! Waited and waited building was locked !! Phone number on door went to a google something number (can’t answer phone now) went to gas station next door..no clue why they were locked up !! Finally a Justin answered the phone call states he is out of town and they closed the building due to some type of emergency. Would of been nice to put on the web to inform the public…soooo...

What a beautiful building! Not sure what's up with the museum, it's like it just stopped in the middle of many started projects. Someone or many have put so much work into it already. For a SKI JUMPING town we were disappointed that there was not more of this. Lots of history, good historical items and pictures. This beautuful building needs a passionate person or persons with excitement and attention to detail with a love for the sport to wake up...
