Richard & Marj Peeler: A Retrospective

Many Putnam County residents and visitors remember taking a trip through winding county roads south of Reelsville to Peeler Pottery.  Beautiful dishes, pots, and hangings grace many homes in Putnam County and beyond.  For the uninitiated to the most ardent collector, new delights in clay, wood, fabric, paper and more will appear around every corner. 

This exhibit was made possible with the generous support of DePauw University and the Art Department, as well as individuals around the United States.  As a special treat for the opening of the exhibit, Chuck Todd Wagoner, former student of the Peelers and current art teacher and ceramicist will be an artist-in-residence from 1 to 4 pm.  He will demonstrate ceramic techniques and children can try them out at an art activity station.

New History Exhibit!

Natural Heritage of Putnam County - Opens Saturday, April 21

Rocks, trees, water, and dirt.  We take them for granted. How could such seemingly mundane things impact our history and the way we live today?  To answer this question, visit the Museum's new exhibit, Natural Heritage of Putnam County .  From familiar farms and quarries to ancient glaciers and fossils, you'll discover that we live in a cultural landscape—a place that has been shaped by the interaction of the physical world and human activity. 

The exhibit will include Natural Heritage discovery stations from 10 am to noon.  Discovery stations will be manned by experts like Bob Beck and Jerry Shivley.
