The National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Stillwater, Oklahoma on the campus of Oklahoma State University. The museum opened on September 11, 1976.

The museum operates purely by private donations. Six people from Oklahoma formed the Hall of Fame corporation: Myron Roderick, Dr. Melvin D. Jones, Ralph Ball, Robert L. McCormick, Bill Aufleger, and Veldo Brewer. The then-president of Oklahoma State, Dr. Robert B. Kamn, provided land – at no cost – through a 99-year renewable lease.
