Overview

Locals and visitors alike will be fascinated by the exhibits at the Ketchum Sun Valley Historical Society Heritage & Ski Museum. Learn how Ernest Hemingway is connected to the Wood River Valley and how the area’s economy changed from a dependence on silver and lead mining to a top sheep raising force. Exhibits highlight Ketchum’s national award for sending the most men per capita to serve in WWI and for supplying ski troops during WWII. Perhaps the most interesting exhibits focus on the history of skiing in the region and the Olympic skiers who called the Sun Valley their home.
