The Mascot Hall of Fame was founded as an online-only hall, with an induction ceremony taking place each year in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, in September 2014, Raymond's mascot company signed a memorandum of understanding with the City of
Whiting, Indiana, to develop a permanent Mascot Hall of Fame on the south shore of
Lake Michigan. The educational,
STEAM based, fully interactive museum opened December 26, 2018. On July 22, 2024, the hall of fame announced that the Whiting, Indiana museum would close on September 14, 2024. In addition, the organization will continue online and are actively searching for a new location to host the museum. ==Inductees==
