  History of the Springfield building – Basketball Hall of Fame

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame was established in 1959 without a physical location by Lee Williams. In the 1960s, the Basketball Hall of Fame struggled to raise enough money for the construction of its first facility. However, during the following half-decade the necessary amount was raised, and the building opened on Feb. 17, 1968, less than one month after the National Basketball Association played its 18th All-Star Game. In addition to honoring those who contributed to basketball, the Hall of Fame sought to make contributions of its own.
