Description

Non-profit foundation, established in 1992 for the preservation restoration and revitalization of Rickwood Field.

Promotional Statement

Rickwood Field was constructed in 1910 and is today being restored to the dazzling diamond of its early days. But, more than just preserving an historic structure, we are creating a place to relive the magic of baseball's glory years. Why bother? Read the papers. Watch the news of the game. Find, if you can, the passion of the game America fell in love with a long time ago. With each of the old grandstands
that fell, it seems we lost more than just an old structure. We lost a bit of romance, a bit of all that is truly good about America.

And so, for those hopeless romantics who are still in love but a little disenchanted with the game, we are preserving Rickwood Field. Our dream is for Rickwood
Field to be a working museum, a place to actually see and experience baseball as it once was.
