With more than 2.25 million visitors in the past decade, the Louisville Slugger Museum has kept baseball fans coming with new and exciting exhibits. The goal of this renovation was to create a one-of-a-kind museum with a playful, interactive experience that engages the visitor with the museum’s role in baseball’s past, present, and future. And all this was done just in time for the 125th anniversary of Louisville Slugger’s first baseball bat!

First Base

Schaefer’s team carefully coordinated with display vendors to ensure a smooth installation. The project began by demolishing existing displays and removing the original 100-year-old Hillerich & Bradsby sign for restoration. Once completed, the new, interactive exhibits were installed by our crews. This was phased to accommodate the museum, which wished for the factory and tours to remain open and fully functioning.

New Exhibits

The new exhibits included “Hold a Piece of History,” “Grandpa Bud’s Attic,” “Babe’s Bat,” and “Joe DiMaggio’s Bat.”
