The B-R-S Baseball Museum began as a small collection of baseballs and photographs that were displayed in a Nokomis restaurant window. The museum moved five times before members purchased a building to house their increasing collection. Now visitors can view photographs, scrapbooks and gloves from a century of baseball. The museum pays tribute to all outstanding players from the Nokomis area, including Hall of Famers Jim Bottomley, Charles Ruffing, and Ray Schalk.
