Our Museum in Action
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a nonprofit organization that depends on the support and generosity of thousands of fans to fulfill our mission to preserve history, honor excellence and connect generations.
For over 80 years, our Collection and Archive have grown to more than 40,000 Museum artifacts and three million Library items that are in need of continual care.
Your support is critical to the care of these one-of-a-kind treasures and helps ensure a world-class museum experience for generations to come.
