- **Event Description**: A day of vintage base ball played at the Historic Durham Athletic Park !About this EventAny tickets purchased for our 2025 Vintage Base Ball event are valid for 2026!The iconic Durham Athletic Park has hosted baseball games since 1926 and was even featured in an iconic baseball film, but Durham’s baseball roots are even deeper. The first century of baseball was marked by racial segregation and separate leagues for black and white athletes at the DAP until the 1950s; however, Duke Homestead welcomes all people to participate and honors the struggles and achievements of the many players over the past century who brought us the Durham baseball culture we know today. Players will wear historic uniforms, follow historic gameplay, and use historic equipment. The games will follow 1860 and 1869 Beadles Rules.We invite you to connect with the history of this sport, this place, and this community by enjoying an afternoon out at the ball park.Admission to the game is $10; children under 4 years old will be admitted free. Game tickets can be purchased online through Eventbrite, or in person at the Duke Homestead visitor center, as well as at the gate on game day. Early-Bird tickets for $5 available until 9/21 (online here or at the Duke Homestead visitor center).Enjoy a family-friendly day at the ball park complete with “old fashioned” concessions, food, beer, and historic music. Spectators are encouraged to come dressed in your favorite historical, vintage, or retro inspired outfits. We believe in vintage style, not vintage values! Kids will get to play historic games with our costumed interpreters, as well as have the opportunity to run the bases in-between ball games.Joining our local Duke Homestead team this year will be The Shiners from Rockingham, VA and a special team from the Durham Fire Department! The first game will be played at 11am, with games at 12:30pm and 2pm to follow.This game is a fundraiser for the Duke Homestead State Historic Site and it is sponsored by the Duke Homestead Education and History Corporation (the site’s volunteer, non-profit support organization), Measurement, Inc., and Stone Brothers & Byrd.Free parking available at the lot at 412 Morris St, Durham, NC 27701.
