Play ball! With baseball season in full swing, stop by the State Museum to celebrate America’s pastime with special baseball themed activities and presentations inspired by the museum’s current exhibition, The 521 All-Stars: A Championship Story of Baseball and Community.
This exhibition, based on the 1998 book of the same name, highlights the 521 All-Stars team of Rembert, South Carolina. This July, on the 25th anniversary of their book, the State Museum will host a panel discussion and meet & greet with author Frye Gaillard, photographer Byron Baldwin and players from the team featured in the exhibition. Guests are also invited to enjoy additional activities, purchase ballpark-themed treats from the Crescent Café by the Food Academy and enter to win the opportunity to throw the first pitch at a Columbia Fireflies game.
Baseball Day activities are included with museum general admission or membership.
