The Larry Bird Museum is a tribute to the basketball icon who captivated audiences with his precise shooting, basketball IQ and unparalleled court vision. The museum originated from a grassroots effort led by devoted fans and community influencers in the Terre Haute, Indiana area. Recognizing the significance of Bird’s Indiana roots, his impact on Indiana State University athletics, and his contributions to the local community, these passionate individuals embarked on a mission to commemorate his legacy in a meaningful way. Through tireless dedication and collaborative efforts, the vision of creating a space to honor Larry Bird's lasting mark on basketball and Indiana came to fruition with the grand opening of the museum on May 30, 2024.
