I've visited quite a few county museums in our state, and this is one of the best ones I've been to. This one, though not loaded with lots of donated local artifacts, has a real museum like quality with its professionally made plaques and arrangements. The central building of the museum has a gift shop on the left, a children's activity center on the right, and the main museum beyond the children's area. (The matching area on the left is for events like a train display and a holiday gingerbread competition.) The museum is really one large, well lit room. It is divided into sections. I was able to find about a local artist, pioneer life, early manufacturing, ferry steamboats, and Indiana's involvement in the Civil War with a "Morgan's Raid" map/display. There is free parking along the street. There is no charge to the museum though they do have a donation box near the entrance. Sorry, they are only open during the week, so plan your visit accordingly. Review #3394 read more
