The frequency and consistency of special encounters with Pro Football Hall of Famers has risen to a new level as the Hall of Fame has launched an innovative “Hall of Famer Residency Program.” This week, we welcome Hall of Famer Jackie Slater back to his home in Canton!

Guests never know who they might meet when they visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame — “Football Heaven” — in Canton.

In the Hall of Fame’s 61-year history, that maxim always has been true. Players, coaches and contributors who comprise the membership of the most elite team in sports visit their “second home” for such reasons as speaking engagements, educational programs and other appearances. Guests fortunate enough to cross paths with the Hall of Famers on those occasions take with them an added lifelong memory from their trip to Canton.

The frequency and consistency of those special encounters has risen to a new level as the Hall of Fame has launched an innovative “Hall of Famer Residency Program.”

The initiative brings enshrinees to Canton for several days each time on a near-weekly basis. Much of the visiting enshrinee's time in Canton will be spent inside the museum, greeting guests and sharing his experiences and inspirational stories from the game with the fans who visit the Hall from across the country.

Class of 2001 member JACKIE SLATER **** — who played 259 regular-season games over his 20 season with the same team — will participate in the Residency Program in Canton Aug. 27-31.

Keep an eye out for Jackie as he'll be out and about at various events and locations throughout the community.

Details of Jackie's residency are below (schedule subject to change):
