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”).

The 16 other exhibits are Babe Ruth: American Icon; Cal Ripken, Jr.: Focus On A Hall of Fame Career; Nine Innings Of Orioles Baseball; Orioles Hall of Fame; Almost Religion: Baltimore’s Colts; Johnny Unitas: Best There Ever Was; Baltimore Ravens: A New Tradition; Lincoln, the Civil War & Camden Station; Minor League Baseball in Maryland; Amateur Baseball in Maryland; The Baltimore Blast: Indoor Soccer in Baltimore; The Locker Room: Kids Discovery Zone; Maryland’s Stadiums, Ballparks & Arenas; College Game Day: Sis Boom Bah!; The Uniqueness of Maryland: Phelps, Lacrosse and The Preakness; The Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame.
