Vintage Base Ball Day

Vintage Base Ball Day

Step back in time with 19th-century baseball at Heinz History Center.

Step back in time and experience baseball the way it was played in the 1860s! At this special afternoon event, two vintage base ball teams—the Somerset Frosty Sons of Thunder and the Addison Mountain Stars—will compete using authentic rules, uniforms, and traditions from that era. You'll notice right away that the game looks and feels different from modern baseball, offering a fascinating glimpse into how America's pastime has evolved. This is a perfect outing for families who enjoy history and sports. Bring a blanket and pack a picnic to settle in for a relaxed afternoon of classic competition set in the historic grounds of Meadowcroft. The game kicks off at 1 p.m., and admission to watch is included with your general admission ticket. It's recommended that you purchase tickets ahead of time, though they may also be available at the admissions desk on the day of the event.
