More Than a Museum

Cheer Through The Years is built around modular, decade-based exhibit stations. Each one profiles a specific era of cheerleading history — using a vintage or period-appropriate uniform as the centerpiece, paired with historical context, artifacts, signage, and a short narrated mini-documentary.

The uniforms are the visual hook. The real exhibit is the story of cheerleading culture through time — how the sport, performance style, school spirit traditions, and uniform design evolved decade by decade.

1970s

Cheerleading hits the mainstream, with televised pro squads and bold new uniform styles.

Big hair, bigger energy — competitive cheer emerges as its own athletic discipline.

1990s

Stunts, tumbling, and the rise of All-Star cheer gyms across the country.
