Mission Statement:
The mission of the Bartholomew County Historical Society (BCHS) is to collect and preserve Bartholomew County artifacts, photographs, and documents.  Through interpretive programs and displays, BCHS teaches the heritage of this region to enrich both present and future generations.  Our goal is that we may know who we are today based on where we came from yesterday.
