current exhibit
 
   
     
  See skateboards dating from the 50s right up to the present day. The exhibit includes skate cars, slalom boards, vertical, downhill, longboards--even motorized boards--from 12 inches to 9 feet!
The Earliest known skateboards were made by kids who attached the wheels from their roller skates to two-by-fours and since have put wheels on anything--skis, surfboards, fences, chairs, guitars, even toilet seats.
 
   
   
  Learn about the skateboard culture and lifestyle through magazines dating back to the 60s, posters, skate music, movies, books, clothing, hats, shoes, pads, and tools. This excellent exhibit takes us through the history of skateboarding from day one to the present and shows the innovations which have propelled the sport into the 90s
