Historic Baseball Games
Every Sat & Sun from June 13 through Aug 23, 2009 (1:30pm)
Our National Pastime circa 1867
Every summer weekend our historic baseball clubs, the Lah-De-Dahs and the Nationals suit up to compete with outside historic clubs from around the Midwest. Stretch out on a grassy hillside and enjoy the game, played by 1867 rules. It’s a wonderful family sporting experience chock-full of thrills, excitement, good music and good food—everything that has made baseball America’s favorite pastime for over a century. Historic Baseball Games are free to members and free with Greenfield Village admission.
