NEW CASTLE — Basketball is Indiana's statewide sports obsession, but the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle ran out of space to tell the story. The museum is now much larger and it will not cost you anything to see it for yourself.The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame unveiled its expansion on Thursday. The new wing includes an exhibit dedicated to women's basketball, a highlight reel of past state championship games, and a much larger room to store its archive of memorabilia.
Martin said it shows how the museum has put a spark in Henry County after Chrysler closed its New Castle plant.'This proves to the community that we're here for the long haul,' Martin said. 'It's not going to go to Indianapolis or anywhere else. This is home and we want to make sure that they know that.'People came from all across Indiana to share their basketball stories at the grand reopening.
