Walkerton Heritage Museum (formerly The Heritage House Museum)
This information was found at the Town of Walkerton, Indiana page.
At the Heritage House Museum, you will find exhibits, photographs, memorabilia from local businesses, and many other interesting artifacts. Our collection of photographs shows local businesses, farming, schools, area township schools, sports teams, town and school bands, street scenes, railroads, grain elevators, churches, and other images from the past. You may read or listen to oral histories telling about life in the Walkerton area in earlier times. Some memories are written on paper, others are on audio tape.
History of the Heritage House Museum
In 1997, the Heritage Room Museum was opened at the Walkerton Library. The house at 413 Michigan St. was donated by Dr. & Mrs. Elliott Frash to be used as a museum by the Walkerton Area Historical Society. The house was built in 1885 and was used by Dr. Frash in his profession for 38 years.
In 2023, the museum has moved to what used to be the old License Branch building and has changed it's name to the Walkerton Heritage Museum.
