In 2021, the Larry Bruno Foundation will be transitioning the Museum and Hall of Achievement into a new home. An open house to tour the new building will be announced as the project progresses.
When visiting the new location, you will experience the rich history of learning and achievement led by members of our vibrant community. You will read, watch, meet and learn from our past Inductees and Honorees that we have given reverence to over the past 10 years. Our state-of-art digital classroom and storytelling center will be equipped with two large video screens and video cameras to broadcast live and interactive presentations from around the country.
Stay tuned for more information on this exciting project!
So happy Ritchie Allen was finally inducted into baseball’s hall of fame.
Several hall of fame players played at our Beaver Falls field. Honus Wagner, Josh Gibson. Satchel Paige, Ritchie Allen come to mind. Story has it wampun junior legion team played BF there . When BF was constantly pitching around Allen, he stepped over the plate and smacked a way outside pitch to deep right field that one hopped the fence that was , on the old field about a mile away. My Dad told me Bill Midon also one hopped the same fence back in late forties. No one ever hit one over it. ... See MoreSee Less

Love it!💚🤍
January 27 is Coach Bruno’s 103 birthday. He was born before (1922) Beaver Falls won their first Football Gold (1928) and before Reeves Stadium was built, and before the old senior high school was built ( now the junior high). Like those rock solid institutions, his legacy will live on through The Larry Bruno Foundation.
Happy Birthday Coach. ... See MoreSee Less

Reeves was built in mid twenties, I believe BF started playing there in 1937 after the BF grandstand burned down. The old high school was built in late twenties and open after 1930 when BF merged with College Hill to make BF a third-class city.
Great place to play 🏈
Very nice tribute, happy heavenly birthday!!
