On March 1, 2006, a community-wide meeting was held to organize a Sports Legends Program in the Antioch

 Historical Society Museum. Led by Eddie Beaudin, Jim Boccio, Leo Fontana, Tom Menasco & Dave Sanderson, over 40 Antioch boosters joined the group in the first 90 days.


Four sub-committees make up the organizational structure of the program:

• Representation of the "Best of the Best" athletes in professional, college and high school sports, as well as the significant history of our youth programs, community teams, individuals, facilities, and historical achievements and contributions.
• Focus on attracting community involvement, recognizing and developing high-profile events, and involving the youth of our community.
   

• A 750 sq ft display area on the lower level of the museum that encompasses the hallway and a classroom.
• Wall and pedestal displays of sports memorabilia and photos
• Film footage of some of our Legends
• Displays that reflect
