Who: All ages
The Jackie Robinson Museum is about much more than just Jackie as a baseball player. This is not to underplay his significance to the sport as not only the first African American ever to play Major League Baseball but also one of the best players to play the game. However, Jackie was also a family man, a soldier, an entrepreneur, and more. The museum celebrates all of the facets of his life.
It is quite comprehensive and includes numerous timelines. It is also very interactive and has a large number of videos and touch screens throughout. Plus there are plenty of pictures, objects, and artifacts on display. They include awards won by Robinson like his MVP award, his Rookie of the Year Award, and more. Other objects on display in the museum include various uniforms, posters, his plaque from the Baseball Hall of Fame, and much more. There are also plenty of pictures objects, and more on display in connection with the other aspects of his life.
It is extremely fun, fascinating, and informative and definitely worth a visit. If you are a history fan, a baseball fan and/or a Jackie Robinson fan, give yourself plenty of time when planning a visit. You're going to need it!
