Adjacent to the main gate of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, 22,000-square-foot Sports Legends Museum is housed in the former Camden Station, originally constructed in 1857 by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) as its main passenger station in Baltimore. After being vacant since the 1980s, the depot’s exterior was restored in the 1990s as part of the development of the Camden Yards Sports Complex. Later interior renovations and remodeling were made to accommodate the building’s adaptive reuse as a sports museum. . Exhibits primarily feature local area teams including the city’s two historical Negro Baseball League franchises, the Baltimore Elite Giants and Black Sox (“The Negro Leagues: A Baseball Legacy”).
