The First Duckpin Museum is in California?

A new museum featuring the history of duckpin bowling in the town recently opened in the California beach community of Santa Cruz. Yes, Santa Cruz, California.

Ironic how the California town of Santa Cruz has a duckpin museum and active duckpin areas like Maryland, Connecticut, and Rhode Island do not. How about it National Duckpin Bowling Congress?

Bowling has a long history in the Santa Cruz beach area. Santa Cruz Seaside Company archives document a 4-lane “duckpin” alley along the Boardwalk in 1909 operated by Victor A. Marini.”
