About National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum sits on Main Street in the village of Cooperstown, where it was dedicated in 1939. Three floors of exhibits trace the game from its 19th-century origins to today, with galleries on Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, the Negro leagues, women in baseball and the postseason. The centerpiece is the first-floor Plaque Gallery, which holds the induction plaque of every member. Same-day re-entry is allowed with a hand stamp.
