Review:
The Babe Didrikson Zaharias Museum is dedicated to the Beaumont native of the same name. The record-setting female athlete made her claim to fame by dominating numerous sports. During the 1932 Olympic tryouts, Babe won the national women’s tryouts by herself with second place going to the 22 contestants of the Illinois Women’s Athletic Club. An All-American basketball player, Olympic track and field gold and silver medal winner, and three-time Western Women’s Open golf champion, it seemed there was no sport she couldn’t dominate. The Associated Press voted her the World’s Greatest Woman Athlete of the First Half of the 20th Century. Visitors will learn all about her storied life at this museum.
