We were so pleased to be invited back to bring our Mobile Museum to the Tampa Housing Authority Back to School Bash! We always love coming to kick off the school year by sharing the rich history of baseball in Tampa Bay with the kids and their parents!

Mobile Museums like this are only possible through the support we receive from our community, so we'd like to extend a big thank you to Hillsborough County, Florida Government, City of Tampa, and all our sponsors!

We had an amazing time last week at the Clearwater Threshers Baseball game! We had a blast meeting all the attendees and being able to share the rich baseball history of Tampa Bay with them as they enjoyed the game! We also had a great time meeting up with our old friend Phinley!

We are so grateful to all our Mobile Museum Sponsors, including the Hillsborough County, Florida Government, and the City of Tampa for making this program possible!

We had two great Mobile Museums in the last few weeks that we can't wait to share with you guys! The first was at Tampa’s Police Athletic League summer program. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Peter J Mulry Foundation, advocating for literacy and mentoring, while sharing Tampa’s rich baseball history.

Then we brought our Mobile Museum to Lift Academy in Clearwater. After sharing Tampa's baseball history, the students at Lift attended the Threshers game where they signed the National Anthem!

Opportunities to share our history and be a part of the community are only possible through the generous donations of our sponsors, so we thank them for helping us to go out and provide our Mobile Museums!
