The Baseball Americana is a special temporary Library of Congress baseball exhibit. It is housed in the Thomas Jefferson building and runs through summer 2019.
As with many of the sites in Washington DC, the Library of Congress does not charge admission. So, you can see Baseball Americana for free!
The Library of Congress baseball exhibit showcases a variety of historical documents and artifacts. Among the treasures, you’ll find items such as:
The Baseball “Magna Carta”

Early Baseball Protective Equipment

Earliest Reference to Baseball

All American Girls Professional Baseball League Exhibit
