Wabash County Farms Database

Has your family farmed in Wabash County in years past? We are compiling photos of Wabash County Farms in our database that can be accessed through a kiosk in our agriculture display. If you have a photo of a Wabash County farm that you would like to be included, bring the photo (it will be scanned and returned to you) and as much information as you have about the farm. We will add it to our database at the next update. If you have the photo scanned already, you may e-mail it to emilyp@wabashmuseum.org.

Veterans History Project

There are 19 million war veterans living in the United States today, but every day we lose 1,500 of them.  Motivated by the urgent need to collect the stories and experiences of war veterans while they are still among us, the United States Congress created the Veteran's History Project.

Senator Richard Lugar is partnering with the Library of Congress to preserve the oral histories of Indiana Veterans from all wars.  The Veteran's History Project covers World War I, World War II, and the Korean, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf wars.  It includes all participants of those wars, men and women, civilian and military.  It documents the contributions of civilian volunteers, support staff and war industry workers as well as personnel from all ranks and all branches of service-the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard and Merchant Marine.

If you would like to share your story, or know of someone who would, please contact the Wabash County Historical Museum as soon as possible at 260-563-9070.
