For more than 20 years, Brooks has worked with a keen eye and generous heart to build an unparalleled collection of harness racing toys, children’s books and Americana for the Museum. He has coordinated the funding for a soon-to-be opened exhibit that will showcase toy memorabilia to entertain and educate Museum visitors of all ages.

In addition to these efforts he has also remained a steadfast Museum member since 1987 and has supported the institution’s annual Restoration Raffle fundraising initiative.

The Museum is lucky to have Jim Brooks as a part of the harness racing community and as a true champion of the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame.

He will receive his award at the annual Hall of Fame induction dinner Sunday (July 2) in Goshen, N.Y.
