Have any Labatt Park memorabilia? You can donate it to a new heritage collection
The London Heritage Council is collecting ticket stubs, photos, jerseys, baseballs and more
Do you have any memorabilia from the world's oldest ballpark? The London Heritage Council has put out a call for donations for a new Labatt Memorial Park Collection.
The council, along with Tourism London, is looking for ticket stubs, baseballs, jerseys, photos, posters and merchandise from the past. Perhaps you have something tucked away in a box in the basement or an office drawer that would lend to the collection that will be part of the ballpark walking tours.
"We are so fortunate to have this historic venue right in the heart of our city, and it's important that we preserve its history and heritage," said Terri Smale, the executive director of the London Heritage Council.
"This collection will help preserve the history from these events and continue to tell the important story of Labatt Park for many years to come."
Labatt Park has been a London landmark at 25 Wilson Avenue since 1887. The park holds the Guinness World Record for the oldest baseball diamond in the world.
Have something from the diamonds more than 130-year history? You can contact the organizers to donate through the Labatt Park Tours website.
