Who We Are

The National Museum of Roller Skating is a 501(c )3 non-profit organization located in Lincoln, Nebraska and 
the only dedicated roller skating museum in the world. 
We are committed to the preservation of the history of 
roller skating. With over 50 display cases, the museum 
educates the public on all aspects of roller skating, which 
dates back to the first patented skate from 1819.
