Minnesota (where girls shoot hoops)
Girls played Minnesota’s first recorded basketball game in 1893. Ever since then, girls have shaped—and been shaped by—the game.
Through stories of individual players and teams, this exclusive section of the exhibit, developed by the Minnesota Historical Society, demonstrates how girls who make a difference grow into women committed to supporting the next generations of female athletes as coaches, mentors, friends, and allies.
