Johnson County Museum of History
Johnson County Museum of History, Historical museum in Franklin, Indiana.
The Johnson County Museum displays exhibits about Native American artifacts, pioneer settlements, Victorian life, and military history within a former Masonic Temple building.
Founded in 1931 by the Daughters of the American Revolution, the museum relocated from the county courthouse to its current location in 1989.
The genealogy library contains marriage records, tax documents, court files, and military records that document the development of Johnson County communities.
Visitors can explore permanent exhibits, attend seasonal events, research family history in the genealogy library, and visit an 1830s cabin next door.
The museum building, constructed between 1922 and 1924 by Shopbell & Company, served as Franklin Lodge No. 107 until 1987.
