The day of the unveiling of the state historic marker and the dedication of the Gene P. Carney Baseball Library (collection of baseball books and research papers) at the 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson Museum on June 18, 2011, as the Museum, which opened in 2008, celebrated its third anniversary. Speakers for the marker unveiling included Greenville Mayor Knox White, Museum Director Arlene Marcley, Jacob Pomrenke, Mary Carney (daughter of Gene Carney), author Tom Perry, Cornell Blakely, and Joe Anders. The 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson Museum opened in 2008 at 356 Field Street, across from Fluor Field, after having been moved in 2006 from its original location at 119 East Wilburn Avenue, where Joe Jackson lived until his death in 1951 and where his wife, Katie, lived, until her death in 1959. (The house was moved in July of 2020 to its current location, also on Field Street, and an addition was built. The address of 356 is in tribute to Joe Jackson's .356 career batting average.)
