Visitors to the Huntington County History and Education Center can explore the county's rich history, which spans from prehistory and the Miami Indian and French Voyageur period through the Canal era and pioneer settlement to the present day.
Our museum, designed with inclusivity in mind, is fully handicapped accessible and offers ample parking. It serves as a vibrant hub of learning and discovery, welcoming over Huntington County students annually for school tours that delve into their heritage. We also extend a warm invitation to groups and clubs to rent our space for their meetings with a guided museum tour, promising a unique and educational experience for all.
The Historical Society was organized in 1926 and incorporated in 1985.
