An exhibit with more than 100 years of Kent football history runs March 19 through June 18 at the Kent Historical Museum, 855 E. Smith St.

The displays will include the coveted Taylor Trophy, awarded each year to the winner of the Auburn High School vs. Kent-Merdian game; the legacy of French football; the Hall of Fame jacket of Kent-born Morris "Red" Badgro, who played in the NFL in the 1920s and 30s; and items from the expansion Kent Predators, members of the 2010 professional Indoor Football League.

The museum is open noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free, but donations are accepted. For more information, call 253-854-4330.
