Save the date! The Museum's next temporary exhibit, More than a Game: A Community History of Baseball and Softball, will open on Saturday, July 18.

For over 150 years, McLean County’s ballfields, dugouts, and stands have reflected the evolving story of our community — its shifts in leisure, technology, race, and gender. From the first games played before the Civil War to today’s thriving women’s softball leagues, these sports mirror the changing fabric of American life.

Come learn and explore, we're planning a full day of free activities for people of all ages to enjoy! Check back soon.
