In what state is the Baseball Hall of Fame?

Baseball Hall of Fame, in full National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum , museum and honorary society, Cooperstown, New York, U.S. The origins of the hall can be traced to 1935, when plans were first put forward for the 1939 celebration of the supposed centennial of baseball (it was then believed that the American army officer Abner Doubleday had developed the game at Cooperstown in 1839, a story that was later discredited). The first vote for players to be admitted into the hall was held in 1936, the date sometimes given for the hall's establishment. Dedication ceremonies took place in June 1939.
