Join us for a special guest from the Porter County (POCO) Museum to learn more about our local history and see items from their collections!
The Porter County Museum History! - "Founded in 1916 by the Porter County Historical Society (now the PoCo Muse Foundation), the PoCo Muse is the oldest institution devoted to the history and culture of Porter County.
Artifacts were displayed in the lower level of the Valparaiso Public Library from 1916 until 1937, on the top floor of the Porter County Courthouse from 1938 until 1973, and inside the 1871 Porter County Jail from 1975 until 2020. The PoCo Muse opened its doors at 20 Indiana Avenue in downtown Valparaiso on May 19, 2022.
Our exhibits and programs highlight Porter County’s rich history and have much to tell visitors about our county’s past, present, and future. We hope that when you visit, you leave with a better understanding of the unique character of Porter County, along with its diversity, vibrancy, and beauty."

The Indiana History Room contains a collection of artifacts and documents related to the town's history and its founding families. Our collections of materials have grown from books and periodicals to include movies, audiobooks, ebooks, music, streaming videos, and more.
