History

Sports are a vibrant part of the history and culture of New York State. New York is home to some of the most famous teams and venues in the nation including Madison Square Garden, the Buffalo Bills, Watkins Glen International and so many more. The New York State Museum has a small collection of sports-related artifacts and is working on expanding this exciting facet of history at all levels, from Soap Box Derby racing to the New York Yankees to Ernie Davis at Syracuse University and everything in between.
