About the HallThe North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, which inducted its first class in 1963, celebrates excellence and extraordinary achievement in athletics. The Hall of Fame also commemorates and memorializes exceptional accomplishments in sports for the inspiration and enjoyment of all North Carolinians, especially the youth, through popular exhibits and educational displays. The 11 inductees in the Class of 2013 (see “In the News” above for details) bring the total to 300 who have been enshrined in the state’s most prestigious sports fraternity. Notable accomplishments of many of the Hall of Fame members are showcased in a 3,000-square foot museum on the third floor of the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh. The museum’s address is 5 East Edenton Street, and it is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free. |

The Hall plans to make history of its own this fall when a state-of-the-art traveling museum – called the N.C. Sports Hall of Fame Mobile Experience – begins touring the state. This exhibit, designed with the latest advances in technology, will pay tribute to our rich history while also addressing important issues such as fitness, nutrition and sports medicine.
