Tucked away behind a Third Street sportswear store, the Original Baseball Hall of Fame Museum of Minnesota contains a fascinating collection of signed baseball memorabilia and huge number of photographs of proprietor Ray Crump alongside a galaxy of 1970s celebrities, such as Liberace, Conway Twitty, Muhammad Ali, George Burns and Loretta Lynn.

The museum also contains memorabilia from the Beatles 1965 visit to Minnesota as well as a vast array of autographed Elvis Presley collectibles.

After visiting the Original Baseball Hall of Fame Museum of Minnesota, stroll across to Nicollet Mall, a 12-block pedestrianized shopping zone of superb shopping, specialty stores, street entertainment and fine restaurants in the heart of downtown.

Later, catch a Minnesota Twins game at the 62,000-seat Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome. For game schedule information visit the Twins website.
