Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum
Babe Ruth Birthplace
The rowhouse where baseball legend Babe Ruth was born, displaying his memorabilia and only a few blocks from Camden Yards.
Babe Ruth was born in 1895 in this brick rowhouse on Emory Street, and later learned to play baseball at a reform school in Baltimore. The museum displays Ruth's bats, photographs and handwritten letters, recreates the room where he was born, and introduces the histories of the Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore Colts. Admission is about $15, and opening hours change with the baseball season. It is about a 5-minute walk from Camden Yards, so fans can easily visit before a game.
Opening hours
About 10:00–17:00; shorter hours in off-season
