The Tony Wise Museum of the American Birkebeiner will transport you back to the origins of the American Birkebeiner through lively, state-of-the-art exhibits, hands-on activities, a three-dimensional Birkie Trail model, electronic race scrapbook, numerous race artifacts and memorabilia. Visitors will find a compendium of historic race film, photographs and view oral history stories as told by founding skiers, longtime volunteers and past Birkie staff. With something for all ages, youth can reenact the Birkebeiner legend by donning historic replica costumes in front of a diorama of the Norwegian mountains.
