The Allen County Museum, is one of the state's finest historical museums. The day will fly by as you wander through rooms at your own pace or take a guided tour given by one of the museum's experienced docents. The museum offers exhibits for all ages and includes Native American and pioneer displays; local history exhibits; a steam and electric railroad collection; firefighting equipment; mineral and fossil displays; library; and a scale model of George Washington's Mount Vernon home. These are just a few of the favorite exhibits, but there are many others. Displays are changed often, so you can visit again and again and always see something different.
