We visited the Illinois Railway Museum on my birthday a few weeks ago. Rode a train, saw tons of cool stuff, but near and dear, had a meet and greet with the Nebraska Zephyr used in A League of Their Own. Dreams come true. #WomeninBaseballWeek

One of our newest Heritage Trail spots is the Biggest Little Baseball Museum in the Three Oaks Township Public Library in Three Oaks, MI. This one room packs a punch with the artifacts seen here, plus fun content on the House of David, Eddie Gaedel, and AAGPBL teams in Michigan. #WBHT #Michigan

I got to play curator this summer thanks to friends at Rockford Public Library and design a mini exhibit that highlights what's in the IWBC archive. #WomeninBaseballWeek #LoveYourLibrary #ReadBaseball #WIBW2025

"The train moves, not the station." All train scenes from A League of Their Own (1992) were filmed at the Illinois Railway Museum, just about 35 minutes from Rockford. Check it out at wbht.org #ALOTO #WomeninBaseballWeek #Illinois

#HeritageTrailTuesday of #WomeninBaseballWeek celebrates our hero, Toni Stone, and the field named in her honor in St. Paul, Minnesota. The stadium, located in the Dunning Baseball Complex, sits between Central High School and Concordia University. Find it on the wbht.org #ToniStone #WBHT #Minnesota

Fantastic!

We have updated the Heritage Trail, especially with locations in the Midwest. The Kenosha Softball HOF honors many local legends in the game, including hometown hero Joyce Hill Westerman, longtime veteran of the AAGPBL. Find this and more at wbht.org. #WomeninBaseballWeek #WBHT #Wisconsin

In the decades since, Beyer has hosted numerous events for women and girls in baseball including record-breaking Baseball For All tournaments, US Women’s National Team exhibitons, the Peach Orchard Classic tournaments, and Rockford’s Lil’ Peaches. Find it at wbht.org. #WBHT #WIBW2025 #GoRockford

Beyer Stadium was the home to the Rockford Peaches from 1943-1954, and the only ballpark consistently used in all 12 seasons of the AAGPBL. For the nearly 600 women who played, most would have played at Beyer during their careers.

Happy #WomeninBaseballWeek! Next on our Victory 1945 tour, we venture back to historic Beyer Stadium in Rockford, Illinois.
