Historic Landmarks & Museums

Dubois County Museum

Known as one of the largest county museums in the state of Indiana, this museum showcases the rich German heritage and history of the Dubois County area. Take a journey back in time with a visit to the double log cabin, historic agricultural machinery collection and the furniture industry, sports and military exhibits. Visit the “Main Street Dubois County” featuring 17 rooms portraying life at the turn of the 20th century including a barber shop, bank, hotel, photographer and shoe shop. A hands-on area houses a one-room schoolhouse and play yard, an interactive Lewis and Clark expedition boat, dress-up area, and a log reading nook.

What a hidden gem! We spent hours here with the kids and my mom and everyone had a blast! So much to look at and discover. The history, scavenger hunts, and all the hands on activities were a hit! This is a must visit for all travelers and local residents. Everyone will truly enjoy the meticulous work the staff has put into this wonderful gem!
