From its earliest days, the Museum and the Miami County Historical Society
have been intertwined in their development inspired by the state's
centennial anniversary in 1916, the Governor asked each Indiana county to
form a historical society, thus MCHS was born. Since this time, the society
has provided governance and resources for the museum making it one of the
larger "small" museums in the country. The Museum has enjoyed support from
the Miami County government from the start, evidenced by the museum's first
home on the fourth floor of the courthouse. This support continues today
with half of the Museum's operating budget provided by Miami County. The
remainder is provided by the Society through fundraising and special events.
The collection size is over 150,000 historical objects and archival
materials with two floors of exhibits, and a third currently reserved for storage of
collections.
Please plan a visit today!
