Rediscovering Wichita's Baseball Heritage
The Cowtown Vintage Base Ball Club was established in 2004 with a mission to celebrate and promote the rich history of baseball. Rooted in the heart of the Old Cowtown Living History Museum, our club connects the past with the present, providing players and fans a unique opportunity to engage with the historical roots of America's favorite pastime. By fostering community involvement and appreciation for vintage baseball, we aim to bring together fans, families, and a love for the game.
A Link to Our Past
Our connection to Old Cowtown Living History Museum allows us to immerse ourselves in the traditions of baseball as it was played in the late 19th century. Our games are not just events; they are a celebration of history, where players don authentic uniforms and engage in vintage playstyles that honor the game's true origins.
Building Bonds Through Sport
The Cowtown Base Ball Club is dedicated to fostering a sense of community through our activities. We invite everyone, regardless of age or skill level, to come and experience the joy of vintage baseball. Our club offers various opportunities for community members to participate, whether through playing on our teams, volunteering at events, or simply cheering from the sidelines.
More Than Just Baseball
For us, vintage baseball is not merely a game; it is a way to preserve and honor history. The rules, the equipment, and the spirit of the game reflect a time when baseball was a community affair, played for the joy of it. Each match we hold revives that unique atmosphere, bringing together players and fans in a shared love of the sport.
