About Roger Maris Museum

The Roger Maris Museum sits in the Roger Maris Wing near the Aquarium Court at West Acres Shopping Center in Fargo, North Dakota. It opened in 1984 in Maris's hometown, following his wish that it be placed where people would see it and be open free of charge. The museum displays memorabilia from his youth, his minor league and major league years, including a replica of his Yankee Stadium monument, a replica of his 1961 locker, and a video room with seats from Yankee Stadium. The museum was created by Bob Smith, Jim McLaughlin and American Legion Post No. 2 and was renovated by West Acres in 2003. Maris, who hit 61 home runs for the New York Yankees in 1961, is buried at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery in Fargo.
