Commitment to Sharing Marshall County History
The Marshall
County Historical Museum is committed to sharing history with all
residents and visitors of the county. History is more than just
dates and facts. It is the foundation for the future. We can learn
from it, mimic it, react to it and understand the human experience based
on it. History is useful and viable as we develop the cultural
entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
The
museum is dedicated to providing educational programs and hands-on
experiences that bring history to life.
School
Tours
Our School Tours are designed to meet Indiana Department of Education
Academic Standards for Social Studies. We can
accommodate up to 50 students at one time and will work with larger
groups to schedule alternating activities, such as a tour of the
Marshall County Courthouse or the Old Firehouse, home of the Marshall
County Visitor’s Bureau.
Guided tours may also
be arranged at Jacoby Church built in 1860 and Summit Chapel School
built in 1865. Both buildings are on the National Register of Historic
Places and are excellent examples of early architecture in Marshall
County.
PowerPoint Presentations
The Museum has
developed many PowerPoint Presentations on historic topics. Call to
schedule a presentation for your organization's meeting or educational
workshop. We can also do custom programs at your request.
Lincoln Highway Traveling Exhibits
The Lincoln Highway
Traveling Exhibit is be available to other organizations throughout the
Northern Indiana area for display. Contact the museum for information on
