The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is no stuffy museum, but an active place.
Housed in a dramatic building designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, the 200-foot basketball-topped spire and bulbous dome are easily visible from I-91 as you speed through Springfield (map). Stop for a closer look. You can see and do a lot here in less than an hour, but you could also spend an entire morning. The museum is flanked by a variety of restaurants and shops, and a Hilton Garden Inn Springfield hotel. More... Find Union Street (south of State Street) and go west. Just after you pass under I-91, you'll see the dramatic architecture of the Basketball Hall of Fame. You'll have some fun. Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall
