At Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, you can chart the progress of black Americans in baseball from the inception of the Negro National League in 1920 to the Negro American League, which disbanded in 1960. A self-guided tour of the museum is laid out in chronological order. At the Early Years exhibit, you can learn about the origins of black Americans in baseball after the Civil War, later learn about the power of the press in relation to this subject, and eventually explore the push for equality and nonsegregation in the sport. View hundreds of photographs of players from all the leagues over a period 40 years, and watch several films, including one narrated by actor James Earl Jones.

  The figures on the baseball field are correct size to real life. You can compare yourself to a professional player. Very interesting to see and read everything at the Negro baseball museum.  more »

  Good museum with very friendly people. Nice displays presented with a good flow to tell the story of Negro league baseball. The film is a bit dated but still great and a must-see. Not quite as many artifacts as I was hoping to see, but the replica lockers are fun nonetheless. Gift shop prices were reasonable for high-quality merchandise. Most notably, the people at the admission desk and gift shop were friendly and very helpful (they even offered to call a cab for me!).

  My visit was such a great experience. Satchel Paige was a legend even when i was a kid, so to see so much information about him in his town was a stroke of fortune. All the greats are here, and the staff was so nice. I’d recommend having a couple hours set aside to attend. Admission was very affordable.
