Hall Opens
Aug. 26, 1961: The original Hockey Hall of Fame building had its official opening on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Originally open only during the three weeks in the summer when the CNE was on, the hall gradually began to open on weekends and then became a year-round tourist attraction.
