Bringing the Museum to the Streets

Newburgh Time Travel:
Journey through History.

In 2025, we received a Historic Preservation Education Grant awarded by Indiana Humanities and Indiana Landmarks to develop a walking tour where participants find signs throughout downtown and use mobile phones to view historic photos from the museum's collection taken from the same vantage points. Since then, the Newburgh Museum has unveiled the initial map and will be installing all 15 location signs this year.
