The Roger Maris Museum

It is dedicated as a permanent shrine to Major League Baseball player and local alumni Roger Maris, centering on his life and baseball career, most notably for the New York Yankees during the 1961 season in which Maris hit a then-record 61 home runs.

The Roger Maris Museum was created by Fargo American Legion members Robert Smith and James McLaughlin.

The items stolen included the 1960 AL MVP plaque as well as the S. Rae Hickok Belt which had been awarded to Maris in 1961.

It features a small theatre with documentary films about Maris and is furnished with actual seats from Yankee Stadium.

Among the exhibits are Maris' uniforms, a replica of his 1961 locker, his two MVP awards, Sultan of Swat Crowns, many bats and home run balls, baseball cards and memorabilia as well as relics from his amateur years.
