The Mud Bowl at the McHenry Mansion

The Mud Bowl at the McHenry Museum

  It was 60 years ago that the first Mud Bowl was played in Modesto. High school classmates from Davis and Downey gathered every Thanksgiving morning at Thousand Oaks, now Kewin, Park to play a football game in the mud.
It is the longest, continuous Mud Bowl still being played in the nation.
To celebrate this milestone, the McHenry Museum is hosting an exhibit that chronicles and celebrates the players and the game.
The exhibit opens October 13th and closes November 26th.
The Museum is open 12-4 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is located at 1402 I Street in downtown Modesto.
