The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum is a row house located at 216 Emory Street, in Baltimore, Maryland, where baseball legend Babe Ruth was born. The property was restored and opened to the public in 1974 by the Babe Ruth Birthplace Foundation, a non-profit organization.
The museum houses a collection of artifacts from Ruth's life, including some rare baseball cards and the earliest known signature of Ruth. The original museum underwent renovations to increase space, improve accessibility, and enhance the overall facility in 2015.
