Based on Port Huron’s first “club nine,” the Welkin Vintage Base Ball Club recreates how base ball was played in the 1860’s.
A gentleman’s game… with no gloves!

In 2007 the Welkin Club was recreated as part of Port Huron’s Sesquicentennial celebration. In their inaugural year the Welkins played other vintage clubs from around the state and participated in Greenfield Village’s “World’s Tournament of Vintage Base Ball,” a re-creation of the 1867 tournament the original Welkins played in. In their first year the Welkins managed to duplicate the record of the original 1867 club with a solitary victory.

What to Expect at a Game?
The base ball (yes, two words) games played by the Welkins are hoped to be a re-creation of our past. The games are fast-paced and fun. Participation by the fanatics (that's you) is encouraged.










2013 marks the seventh season of the recreated Welkin Club. Our schedule is set for this season. We hope to see you at one of our match games. If you need directions, you can find them HERE.
Many photographs of this year's match games as well as prior year's games are available for your viewing pleasure. We now have a video page to exhibit some of these new-fangled moving images.
We're glad you stopped by for a visit. Please look around and we hope you enjoy your stay!
