Welcome! Planning a field trip to the Wabash County Historical Museum couldn't be easier. Simply e-mail our tour coordinator, or give us a call at (260)563-9070. We have many resources available for your museum experience, so be sure to check them out here.

HOURS
The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 am to 4 pm. 

ADMISSION
ALL STUDENT FIELD TRIPS (Pre-school through College Seniors) WILL BE ADMITTED FOR FREE! For every five students, one adult chaperone will be admitted at no charge.  School groups must book one week in advance to take advantage of this offer. We ask that all chaperones stay with their assigned group and assure that all museum property is respected.

UNLOADING AND PARKING
Buses may unload in front of the Museum.  Please have teachers and/or chaperones direct your students from the bus into the front double doors of the Museum.  Parking is available for buses right outside the museum.

LUNCH OPTIONS
Students may eat a sack lunch in our multi-purpose room. There are also parks in the area with picnic pavilions. The Paradise Spring Park, for example, is within walking distance of the museum.

MUSEUM GIFT SHOP
If you would like to allow your students to visit our gift shop, there are a number of items in the gift shop for under $5.00 that they will enjoy.
