Now that we've taken a look now at Halls of Fame for the major professional sports leagues, and for 16 additional sports Halls that are located in the Eastern United States, it's time to review 13 more Halls that are located in the Central and Western regions of the country.
Western United States
Colorado leads the way in the Western U.S. with three Halls of Fame, for figure skating, mountain biking, and pro rodeo. The Bicycling Hall of Fame is in the process of moving to the biking hotbed of Davis, California, from New Jersey, while Tucson, Arizona, has the Handball Hall of Fame. A different but quite interesting Hall is the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame in Boise, Idaho, which honors athletes who have been heavily engaged in humanitarian and community service work.
