At the Little League Museum, history isn’t just preserved. It’s celebrated with the fervor of a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth. The Little League Museum explores the enduring legacy of Little League Baseball and Softball. Founded by Carl Stotz in 1939, these youth sports have grown from a local initiative to a global phenomenon. Along the way, Little League has shaped and inspired young athletes worldwide. The museum tells that story.
Visitors can explore interactive exhibits that tell the story of how Little League evolved over the decades. From its humble beginnings to becoming a cultural institution, you’ll learn the story of sportsmanship and the joy of playing ball at a young age.
