United States Croquet Hall of Fame

The United States Croquet Hall of Fame was established in 1979 by the Croquet Foundation of America to recognize those that have, over an extended period of time, bettered the sport either through playing skill, sportsmanship or contributions off the court — or some combination. The United States Croquet Hall of Fame is located at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.
