On the eve of the 2008 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, the exhibition Iditarod Visionary: Joe Redington Sr. honors mushing legend Joe Redington’s pioneering vision. Known as the father of the Iditarod for his efforts establishing and promoting the famous sled dog race, Redington competed in 17 Iditarods, placing as high as fifth. This exhibition displays mushing gear, dog sleds, awards, photographs and memorabilia that trace more than 30 years of Iditarod history.

This exhibition is the first presentation of the Redington Family Collection, which was generously donated to the museum by the sons of Vi and Joe Redington Sr., Joe Jr. (Joee), Ray Sr. and Tim. The museum is also grateful to Jeff Schultz, many of whose photos are included in the exhibition. Cataloguing of the collection was supported by a generous grant from the Rasmuson Foundation.
