The Board of Directors of the Cass County Historical Society takes great pride in announcing that the organization has taken responsibility and ownership of the building at 421 E. Broadway in Logansport, Indiana. Optimum use of the building will be accomplished and completed in phases.

Cass County Historical Society Executive Director Thelma Conrad said, “The Cass County Historical Society is committed to contributing to the success of our community in its efforts to preserve, archive, store and share Logansport and Cass County, Indiana’s history. The society, as a whole, appreciates the volunteerism by community leaders who sit on its Board and the work by staff and members, since 1907, which makes this possible. Those involved with the society understand that there are many who benefit from its services – researchers and visitors to our museum, school children who not only thoroughly enjoy a step back in time, but also seem to understand that they are the future caretakers of our past. We are excited about the changes to come so that we may better serve Cass County moving forward.”

Cass County Historical Society’s current President Jeff Stuart stated, “We look forward to taking part in the revitalization of downtown Logansport in a facility that is more accessible to all and has the space to display the ever expanding collection of local history throughout the next century.”

Located at 1004 East Market Street in Logansport, the mission of the Cass County Historical Society is to collect and preserve the materials calculated to shed light on the natural, civil, and political history of the Cass County, Indiana and achieves those ends through an active board of directors and membership by means of publication and circulation of historical documents, the promotion of useful knowledge, and association with those who are also willing to promote those ends.
