There and Back Again: A Louisville Slugger Tale
This exhibit will explore the location changes of the famed Louisville Slugger baseball bat from 1884 to today. The production of the Louisville Slugger began near Main Street at a woodworking shop. The production of the bat moved several times due to the popularity and growing demand for the brand. Eventually, the baseball bat production returned to Main Street near its original location in downtown Louisville, Kentucky.
