The Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame, formerly the Trotting Horse Museum-Hall of Fame of the Trotter, was established in 1951 to honor the past and promote the future of harness racing. Originally a stable built by J. Howard Ford in 1913, it opened to the public as a museum and repository for the sport’s memorabilia on June 30, 1951. After an extensive renovation and addition, a new plaza, main entrance, and wing were dedicated on May 16, 1998.
