PERMANENT EXHIBIT

IT’S OUR GAME: BASEBALL ‘A Huge vault of American culture’ in Elliott Museum’s baseball collection

Step Into the Heart of America’s Pastime

The crack of the bat. The roar of the crowd. The smell of freshly cut grass. Baseball isn’t just a sport — it’s a part of our collective story. At the Elliott Museum’s Baseball Gallery, you’ll step into a world where each artifact carries the heartbeat of the game.

Here, signed cards, well-worn bats, and game-used baseballs aren’t just displays — they’re storytellers. They whisper of long summers, underdog victories, and players who became legends. From the Major Leagues to the Negro Leagues to the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), these mementos honor the grit, glory, and grace of those who shaped the game.

You’ll encounter the names that echo through history — Ray Dandridge, Hank Aaron, June Peppas, Jackie Robinson, Nolan Ryan, Ted Williams, Derek Jeter, Bob Feller, Ralph Kiner, and Babe Ruth — and see the signatures that turn moments into history.

This isn’t just an exhibit. It’s a chance to stand in the presence of baseball’s living memory — and maybe even discover your own story in the process.

All permanent exhibits are included with Elliott Museum Regular Admission
