Historical Note
Porter County is located in northwestern Indiana. The county consists of 12 townships and was established in 1836. The Historical Society collected local artifacts and history for Indiana's Centennial in 1916 and a museum was created from this collection. The museum continued under the control of the Historical Society until 2010 when the society signed over the collection to the newly formed Museum Board of Trustees.
