  • The Richard M. Moran Gallery, honoring the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame inductees
  • Lockers displaying equipment and uniforms from the most recent NCAA champions and Tewaaraton winners.
  • A display showing the steps to making a traditional wooden stick, accompanied by a video from Native American stickmaker Alf Jacques.
  • Various pieces of equipment spanning the generations of lacrosse players
