Monroe County Historical Museum is located in the History Center in
downtown Bloomington, Indiana, one block east of the Square
at the corner of 6th and Washington Streets.
The Museum's
permanent and current exhibits remind
us of our proud cultural and natural heritage and showcase items from
our collection of over 50,000 artifacts -- documents, clothing, tools,
furniture, toys, maps and photographs. To
request research @ $10/hour, or scanning of photos @$15, from the
permanent collection, submit a
request to the History Center. We
offer a variety of educational programs for
school and other youth groups.
