Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum, Baseball history museum at South Williamsport, United States.
The Peter J. McGovern Little League Museum is a sports museum in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, dedicated to the history of youth baseball in the United States and around the world. It features interactive areas, film screenings, practice zones, and exhibition galleries that cover different aspects of the game.
The museum opened in 1982 to document the story of a youth league that started in Williamsport in 1939 with just three teams. That small local program grew into a worldwide organization with players on every continent.
The museum honors young athletes who went on to achieve success in professional sports and other fields through dedicated display areas. Visitors can see how participation in Little League shaped the lives of notable individuals who later made their mark in various careers.
The museum sits right along U.S. Route 15 (about 1 km from the Little League complex) and is easy to reach by car. Allow enough time to move through the interactive zones, since many of them invite hands-on participation.
The museum holds one of only five known game-worn jerseys belonging to Babe Ruth, making it one of the rarest pieces of baseball clothing in existence. This single object quietly links the sport's deepest past to a museum built entirely around young players.
