What's coming upWelcome
One of Indiana's oldest county historical societies
The Cass County Historical Society was founded on February 12, 1907, during a meeting of the Citizens Club at Library Hall. Today our collection is proudly displayed at the Long Home Museum, a stunning Italianate residence originally built in 1853 for Dr. George Jerolaman by architect George Bevan. In 1967, Benjamin H. Long generously donated the home to the historical society in memory of his parents, Benjamin F. Long and Lucy Nichols Long.
The Long Home Museum is home to thousands of artifacts that tell the story of Cass County's vibrant past, including:
- Paintings by noted artists George Winter and Wils Berry
- Artifacts from the Wabash and Erie Canals
- Military uniforms and equipment
- Native American artifacts
- Antique toys, housewares, quilts, and much more
