The mystery of the National Roller Skating Museum’s peculiar visiting hours, Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., was solved the second I walked into the building. The primary function of the space, as it appeared, served as the headquarters for the U.S.A. Roller Skating Confederation and the attached museum was essentially a roomful of wonderful roller-skating-things on the back of the building. The museum featured five main exhibitions, including Inline Skating, Artistic Skating, Roller Hockey, Speed Skating, and Roller Derby. My fun-lesson-of-the-day was to learn about the clamp-on horse skate and the story about “Jimmy” the skating horse.
