Ivan Allen Jr. Braves Museum and Hall of Fame

The Ivan Allen Jr. Braves Museum and Hall of Fame (BMHF) was founded in 1999, to honor various players, managers, coaches, executives, and others who had been a part of the Atlanta Braves professional-baseball franchise during its years in Boston (1871–1952), Milwaukee (1953–1965), and/or Atlanta (1966–2016). The museum and hall of fame was named after former Atlanta mayor Ivan Allen Jr. and was located in Turner Field (on the northwest side at Aisle 134.), which closed on October 2, 2016.
