"Dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich and exciting history of snowmobiling at both the recreational and competitive levels through the operation of a museum, hall of fame and library for the sport.  Annual inductions honor the men and women that have played significant roles at the racing venues, design and manufacturing arenas, local clubs, state associations and national organizations."
   

Pictured above is the new trail entrance to the SHOF.  The attractive new sign and sled parking area in
front of the museum was necessary as there was
 a re-route of the main trail along Hy 70 West

The Board of Directors of THE INTERNATIONAL SNOWMOBILE HALL OF FAME & MUSEUM is happy to announce that we have moved our museum into temporary quarters along with our administration offices, storage facility and our restoration shop. For the first time in nearly 15 years, all operations are in one location. 

The facilities are located at the beautiful twenty acre HALL OF FAME campus nestled in the tall pines on St. Germain's west side. When traveling down Hwy 70 from east or west, you will know you have arrived when you get to the "s" curves ("S" as in Sleds!)

Stop in and see historic race sleds, trophies, clothing and the Ramstad Photo Collection. View racing videos in our theater. Visit our well stocked gift shop... great ideas for the race and recreational snowmobile enthusiast!

Championship sleds on display include oval, enduro, hill-climb, cross country, water-cross, snow-cross & drag sleds raced by championship drivers such as Karpik, Wicht, Musselman, Coltom, Hayes, Elsner, Solem, Bernat, Frandsen, Nelson, Bender, Maki, Hibbert, Morgan and Vincent.
