Really neat that they are collecting history of Chesterton and cataloging the items. We gave my mom's 1945 CHS diploma and senior picture to them. They did not have year books during WWII. Had leather covers for their diploma. Items are treated with respect.
This museum is beautifully restored and decorated with period furnishings. Our tour guide was excellent and told us all about the history of the house, Chesterton, and the township which we found it very interesting. Besides the restored sections of the house (formerly the school district administration building) there is also a modern and beautifully cuerated museum of local history that is child-friendly, if not targeted at children. Both sections are highly recommended; the restored mansion as well as the history museum.nnThere is a wheelchair accessible ramp into the history museum section, but there is no ramp available for the half-stairs up to the restored mansion. Also no elevator to the upper floors.
The curators were very friendly and helpful searching for information I was looking for on my family. They were very Knowledgable of museum and exhibit in lower level were great, throughly enjoyed Brown Mansion.
Very nice and informative ladies working here and a beautiful museum
Open until 9 pm which I appreciate. Good availability of computers and printers for public use. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable building.
