- depicts Mooresville and area history
- includes Morgan County and Indiana items & information

Preserving and displaying artifacts and information honors our responsibilities to the past, and helps us to understand our rich history. These items tell us about ourselves and the past that we all share. We have an obligation to maintain these items, and to interpret them and offer them for public education. Museum collections are unique and need the special care, storage, protection and security that we can provide.
We display owned, donated, and loaned items. We welcome your interest if you have items to donate or loan.
Our Hours:
Regular hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Private visits and group tours can be arranged, by advance appointment, seven days a week, any time from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Hours may be subject to change. Please verify.
Please feel free to stop in for a tour any time we are open, or call to schedule an appointment. We’d be happy to show you what we have to offer.
