Play ball – 19th century style!

Step back in time for a vintage game of “base ball” at Meadowcroft — when America’s pastime looked a little different and was spelled with two words! Watch as the Somerset Frosty Sons of Thunder face off against the Addison Mountain Stars, playing by authentic 1860s rules, uniforms, and traditions.
Bring a blanket, pack a picnic, and enjoy a laid-back afternoon of classic competition in a historic setting.

The game begins at 1 p.m.

Admission

Access to the Vintage Base Ball game is included with admission. Purchasing tickets in advance is encouraged, but tickets will also be sold at the admissions desk in the Barensfeld Center depending on availability.
