About National Ballpark Museum

Located in Denver's LoDo district, this museum grew out of founder Bruce Hellerstein's lifelong interest in baseball. It was once called B's Ballpark Museum, and Smithsonian Books listed its collection among the top private baseball collections in the world. Its holdings include items from the original 14 classic ballparks, and it presents itself as the only museum focused on ballparks. Visitors can see a turnstile from Philadelphia's Shibe Park, dated 1909.
