Throughout the years, Tacoma-Pierce County has been fortunate to receive acclaim and publicity thanks to the national and international caliber of its athletes and teams. There has never been one place in which these athletes as well as the countless number of other recreational, amateur, and professional athletes could be recognized for the distinction they have brought or will bring to our community. Under the auspices of the Tacoma Athletic Commission, founded in 1943 and dedicated to the promotion of amateur athletics and civic betterment, and thanks to a generous contribution by Fred Shanaman, Jr., the museum became a reality with its opening in October of 1994.
