History
In the late 1990s, the Putnam County Historical Society sought a permanent home for the collection, preservation and protection of artifacts and stories relating to Putnam County and its people. Public meetings were held in concert with Main Street Greencastle, the Putnam County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and interested community members.
For over twenty years, Putnam County Museum has been located at a dedicated location, 1105 North Jackson Street in Greencastle, Indiana. The museum strives to preserve the rich heritage of Putnam County through exhibitions, programs, collection care, and the publication of The Arch, a quarterly publication mailed out to museum members.
