There is a "NEW" Vintage Snowmobile Museum here in the great Northwest!!

It is called  "NORTHWEST MUSEUM OF VINTAGE SNOWMOBILES"
and is located in Spokane, Washington.  Owner and Curator Jerry Kienbaum
has put together a collection of his favorite snowmobiles for all to enjoy

       N.W.Museum of Vintage Snowmobiles
        E 19013 Alki, Greenacres,  WA 99016
        (509) 220-7091

    After several years of collecting and restoring old snowmobiles I found myself running
out of storage areas, something had to happen.
        We remodeled an existing warehouse for storage.  As things progressed, friends stopped
        by giving ideas on displaying the sleds, soon the idea of a museum emerged.  We've had
        a great time getting it put together.  Even while working on it people would come by
        with several buddies, sharing stories about their old snowmobiles. One of the first models I
purchased and restored was a 1963 Polaris Pusher on its own Polaris Industries Trailer
made for the sled. Things just escalated from there.
        I became interested in Race sleds in particular & have sleds from 25 manufacturers, the
oldest being a 1958 Pusher.  I have a Leschasin Pusher, the model being one of a kind,
built in Canada.  A favorite is a 1968 Yamaha Prototype SL350, the first snowmobile
made by the Japanese.

        The "N. W. Museum of Vintage Snowmobiles" has 100 plus sleds (Antique, Vintage, and
        Classic), from Pushers, Trail and Race Sleds, restored and unrestored.  We've met many
        people across the country and came to realize the broad interest these old snowmobiles
        have created.  Who knew there were so many manufacturers?  Other attractions at the
        museum include a collection of memorabilia including signs, posters, photos, clothing Etc.
        I have about filled up my space but have saved an area for guest sleds to be featured at different times.

        Things are still in progress but I have it open by appointment and look forward to showing
        it to anyone who has an interest.  Give me a call if you are coming through town.
