About Tony Wise Museum of the American Birkebeiner
Opened by the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation on August 5, 2016, this museum honors the cross-country ski race that began in the north woods of Wisconsin and the founder who envisioned it after learning to ski as a soldier in Germany. Exhibits include a video experience, a three-dimensional trail model, an electronic race scrapbook, race artifacts, historic film, photographs, and oral history interviews with founding skiers, volunteers, and former staff. The museum is being installed in stages in the Mt. Telemark Village Hub building, with new features such as a Hall of Champions and a planned historical mural.
