The National Steeplechase Museum in Camden celebrates the history and legacy of American Steeplechasing. It is located on the grounds of the Springdale Race Course.
Steeplechasing derives its name from the practice of using church steeples in the countryside to mark the beginning and end of horse races. Jumping over hurdles also comes from the cross-country races that originated in Ireland and England in the 18th century, where riders and their horses would jump over fences and ditches.
