There are a lot of significant Iowa connections to baseball. It wonder if expanding the Bob Feller museum to include a Iowa baseball hall of fame would be a decent recovery strategy. Anson, Clarke, Faber, Bancroft, Vance, Stone, etc. Plus Iowa has a fairly rich town team history.
One problem for the Bob Feller museum is that there isn't anything else in Van Meter. It is a nice little town, but the only reason for going there is for the museum. If there was a little more town there then it might be more worth the trip.
I am afraid there probably isn't much hope for the museum as things stand.
