Home Field: The Cleveland Browns and Shaker Heights — September 26, 2026 - February 7, 2027

From a founding investor who helped bring professional football to Cleveland, to the coach who gave the team its name and called Shaker home, the Shaker Heights community has been part of the Cleveland Browns story from the very beginning. This exhibition draws on the collection of Shaker resident Donald Gries to share the early years of one of professional football's most storied franchises.
