Negro Leagues Baseball Museum of Maryland, Inc.

The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum of Maryland is an educational center in Baltimore County established in honor of Negro Leagues baseball players and their contri-butions to the cultural history of the United States.

Our purpose is exclusively charitable, educational and nonprofit. Our mission is to collect, preserve and display collectibles, photos, books, artifacts and memo-rabilia that tell the story of Blacks in baseball from the early 1800's to the present. 

    What We Do

The museum works with 

advocates interested in

promoting educational

research, exhibitions and

the dissemination of historical

information about the Negro

leagues.

All museum programs and

projects are designed to

foster among young people

as well as adults a greater

understanding of the plight

of African-Americans as

they pursued their rightful

place in the realm of

sports.

We conduct activities designed

to stimulate interest in Black history while learning about the

early circumstances of Black

baseball players.

We encourage interest in the

game and expose children and

adults to the basic principles of

good sportsmanship.

Our annual NLB Youth Summer

Camp provides opportunities

for kids 8 to 12 years of age

to learn about the history of the

Negro Leagues and get a good

grounding into what it means to

engage in a sports activities.
