Pro Football and the American Spirit: The NFL and the U.S. Armed Forces is an inspirational exhibition from the Pro Football Hall of Fame which chronicles the many ways in which the National Football League and its players have responded to America’s call during military conflicts.

This exhibition recalls the stories of triumph, tragedy and personal sacrifice made by the more than 1,200 players, coaches and administrators who interrupted or delayed their pro football careers to serve their country during times of military conflict.

Some of the items which highlight this exhibition include Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Donovan’s Army uniform; the career medals of General Earnest Cheatham (pro football’s highest ranking former player); and Pat Tillman’s Army Ranger uniform. 

You're invited to the opening reception of Pro Football and the American Spirit: The NFL and the U.S. Armed Forces at the museum’s 25th annual tasting event and fundraiser — Haggin à la Carte.

In addition to the special exhibition, enjoy signature dishes, desserts and drinks from some of the area's best restaurants, caterers and wineries.

Tickets are now available and can be purchased online. For more information, contact Kristen Anema at (209) 940-6316 or kanema@hagginmuseum.org.

A View from Space, a new, bilingual (Spanish and English), highly interactive, hands-on science exhibit, will allow visitors to see the world from a satellite’s perspective. They can track a hurricane from space, send a satellite spinning into orbit around a model Earth, study incredible images of our planet captured by NASA’s Earth Observing System, and more.

There are numerous hands-on activity sections such as the Satellite Activity Area, which encourages families to learn about space and satellites together through creative, open-ended play and exploration. A posting board lets visitors display their artwork and allows educators to share the latest news from NASA’s Earth-observing satellites.

These are just some of the many areas visitors can enjoy as they learn more about those mysterious “eyes in the skies.”
