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 SNOWMOBLE HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM is happy to announce that we have moved into our new expanded facility. The new Warning Gallery has added 5,000 feet to our exhibit space. All SHOF operations are now located in one location for the first time since our establishment in 1983.
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.
The SHOF does not have a sno-cam but these are just down the road here in
St. Germain. |
