Pro Football Hall of Fame Museum

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio, for three primary reasons; (1) the American Professional Football Association, later renamed the National Football League, was founded in Canton on September 17, 1920. (2) the Canton bulldogs were an early-day pro football power, even before the days of the NFL. (3) Canton citizens early in the 1960's launched a determined and well-organized campaign to earn the site designation for their city.
