Most NFL players started their careers as kids, playing "Pop Warner" youth football. Founded in 1929, leagues stretch from Hawaii to Florida and up to Maine with approximately 325,000 young participants ages 5-16 competing.

Coach Glenn Scoby "Pop" Warner was a Springville native, and is credited with developing many of the rules and sports equipment still used today. You'll get to learn about his iconic role in the early days of football and see "Pop's" vast collection of football memorabilia (including his actual Hall of Fame ring). "Pop's" passion for collecting even includes Native American artifacts. Vintage film of "Pop" reminds you of his Knute Rockne persona, and shows where he trained and inspired the likes of Olympic Gold Medalist Jim Thorpe, arguably the greatest all-around athlete that has ever lived. Certainly a must-see for anyone who loves football!

1st floor exhibits include Springville native Glenn “Pop” Warner football artifacts, his Hall of Fame Ring and his paintings. Also paintings and drawings by Concord resident painter and architect Harold “Grampa” Olmstead, old toys and a vintage kitchen. A special exhibit room upstairs is dedicated to Springville’s “First Lady” Grace Gentner.

All exhibits are updated periodically.
