Texas Sports Hall of Fame, Sports hall of fame in Waco, Texas
The Texas Sports Hall of Fame is a museum in Waco displaying trophies, uniforms, and memorabilia from athletes across the state. The facility includes galleries dedicated to different sports and conferences, along with a dedicated tennis museum section.
The institution opened in 1951 as the first of its kind in the United States dedicated to honoring a single state's athletes. It was established by sports journalists who wanted to preserve the legacy of athletic achievement in Texas.
The hall displays achievements and personal items from athletes who grew up or played in Texas across different sports. You can see how these individuals are remembered and honored by the state for their accomplishments.
The venue is housed in a large building that is easy to navigate with clearly marked sections for different sports and exhibitions. Plan to spend several hours to fully explore all the galleries and read about the displayed items.
New members are selected annually through a voting process where sports journalists review public nominations. The process includes separate consideration for first-time candidates and veteran athletes nominated in previous years.
