HOT SPRINGS NATIONAL PARK, Arkansas — Saturday, October 17, will be the final day for the public to view Picturing America’s Pastime, an exhibit of 51 photographs from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, sponsored by Relyance Bank, at the Hot Springs Convention Center.

The exhibit is free and open to the public between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

“We ask that visitors enter the building through the main lobby entrance on Convention Boulevard,” Visit Hot Springs CEO Steve Arrison said.

Picturing America’s Pastime features 51 framed photographs representing the Hall of Fame’s collection of approximately 250,000 images. An extension of the Museum’s exhibit in Cooperstown, N.Y., the touring version of Picturing America’s Pastime captures the essence of an exhibit designed to show the historic link between the advent of photography and baseball.

“Some of the greatest photographers of the last 150 years found baseball to be the perfect canvas for their work,” said Erik Strohl, the vice president of exhibitions and collections at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. “The images in Picturing America’s Pastime represent a small sample of the brilliant work we preserve in Cooperstown, and the touring exhibit gives fans all over the country the chance to experience the beauty and power of these photos first-hand.”
