A Visit to the Ski Museum of Maine in Kingfield

February 28, 2018 Leave a Comment

The Ski Museum of Maine is located in Kingfield, Maine. The museum used to be in Farmington and relocated to Kingfield in 2009. Its new location is located on Route 27 in downtown Kingfield, next to the historic Herbert Hotel and 15 miles from Sugarloaf, above the Sugarloaf Sports Outlet.
The Ski Museum was founded in 1995 by a small group of friends belonging to the Sugarloaf Mountain Ski Club. The museum’s collection includes artifacts and documents relating to the state of Maine. The collection includes Maine-made vintage skis, leather ski boots and an array of artifacts and documents pertaining to preserving the history and heritage of skiing.
Admission to the museum is free. The entrance to the museum is located inside the Sugarloaf Sports Outlet. The museum is open 7 days a week and hours are 9-5 pm when the Outlet is open. Spring hours are Monday through Friday, from 10-4 pm. Visitors can also make an appointment or book a private tour with advanced notice.
I found visiting the ski museum quite enjoyable and if you’re ever in the area, it is definitely worth a visit.
