Review:
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is a sports and history museum devoted to the history of basketball and is dedicated and named after James Naismith, the Canadian-American doctor who invented the game of basketball. Established in 1959, the Hall of Fame later opened the doors of its new building at Springfield College in 1968.
The popularity of the attraction resulted in construction of a new facility in 1985 along the Connecticut River; it moved again in 2002 to another larger building with 80,000 square feet of space. There are many exhibits, some of which are interactive.
