The Allen County Museum, is one of the state's finest historical museums.

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.
