In early 2000, a committee had been formed to look into the possibility of developing a museum in Milan to house the artifacts and memorabilia of the 1954 Milan Indians Team. A commitment from the Ripley County Tourism Commission to see this idea develop into a tourist attraction, also aided in seeing this project move forward.
This core committee formed Milan '54, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in August 2000.
The long-term goal of this organization is to develop the overall experience of this event with a permanent museum and develop the town of Milan to recreate the feeling and flavor of the times in 1954.
There has been preliminary discussion to offer an area in the facility as a possible location for the Ripley County Hall of Fame for all athletes. This aspect is in the discussion stage only at this time, but would make good additional use of the facility.
