Macon County Museum Hosting Special Event About Local Baseball

Central Illinois baseball enthusiasts will not want to miss out on a program at the Macon County Museum this weekend.
 
Macon County Museum Director Nathan Pierce explains they are welcoming Millikin Professor Dr. Bob Sampson will talk about the origins of baseball in Illinois.
 
 
Dr. Sampson will talk about how early baseball would see hazards in the field of play, the game originally was spelled as two words, and in Decatur, the game was played near the busiest railroad junction. 
 
The program starts at 1:30 pm at the Macon County Museum located at 5580 North Fork Road on the far east side of Decatur.
