The World of Little League Museum® has been awarded a $4,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) as part of nearly $2 million in funding to 158 eligible museums across 58 Pennsylvania counties.
“We are honored to once again receive this generous grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission as we continue to find ways to enhance our Museum and bring fun, educational, and memorable experiences to all our guests that visit throughout the year,” said Adam Thompson, Director of the World of Little League Museum. “For decades, our Museum has brought the story of Little League to life in unique and interactive ways and has served as an important piece of history for not only Williamsport but the entire state of Pennsylvania. We are thankful to once again receive this funding and for the ongoing support of the PHMC and all of the other museums across the state.”
The goal of the Cultural and Historical Support Grant program is to strengthen Pennsylvania’s museum community by supporting the general operations of eligible museums and official county historical societies that are not supported by other state agency funding programs. The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission is the official history agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Featuring exhibits and artifacts for visitors of all ages, the World of Little League Museum is open Thursdays through Mondays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. Additionally, groups are welcome to schedule private tours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the year by emailing [email protected].
