At Gen Con this year, there is a gaming museum (if you're at the convention, head on over to the Lucas Oil Stadium) set inside a replica of the Horticultural Hall in which the first ever Gen Con took place. Amongst many historic gaming delights, you'll see there a plaque designed by Alex Gygax and Larry Elmore, dedicated to Gary Gygax, who founded Gen Con and co-created Dungeons & Dragons.

The original building can be seen below. At Gen Con, you can walk through a facade of the front, and a scale floorpan of the building houses the museum. Photo courtesy of Playing At The World, where more information about the museum can be found.
Below you can see the actual museum entrance. You can see a video tour of the museum here, courtesy of Peter Adkison.
