The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is now located in St. Marys, Ontario, Canada. Founded in October 1983 in Toronto, Ontario, it is dedicated to preserving Canada's baseball heritage whose origins date back to June 4, 1838 when a game closely resembling today's baseball was played in Beachville, Ontario, according to an article in Sporting Life magazine in 1886 written by Dr. Adam Ford, formerly of St. Marys, Ontario.
