New Exhibit—Mapped Out Opening to the public on Saturday, March 1, 2014 will be a new exhibit on the history, science, and art of maps, cartography, surveying, and much more.

See both current and historic maps of Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana, the United States, and the World. Play games and activities to test your geography knowledge and your familiarity with famous world explorers. Learn how globes are made and how GPS works, as well as see a map with the South Pole on top.

Included as part of the 2014 exhibit Mapped Out, the Carnegie Museum will host Indiana Through the Map Maker’s Eye, on loan from the Indiana Historical Society. This exhibition, drawn from maps and atlases of Indiana and the Midwest dating from 1577 to the present, examines four ways people have used maps through the years, including documentation, tools, political images, and art.

Indiana Through the Map Maker’s Eye will be on display from March 1 through April 12, 2014. Mapped Out will continue on display at the Carnegie Museum through the end of 2014.

In addition to our collaboration with Tuttle Middle School on this exhibition, we have been working with the Montgomery County Mapping Department, local surveyors, and local historian Karen Zach as we develop our exhibit. We are also honored to be able to display several items from the late Don Yount, who served as a surveyor here in Montgomery County for many years and was elected to the County Surveyor office in 1976. Thank you all for your assistance!

2 exhibit openings! On Friday, February 28th, from 5 pm to 7 pm you

are invited to preview the new exhibits at the Carnegie Museum, including Mapped Out! Catered refreshments will be served from 5 to 7 pm. Also opening on Saturday, March 1, is the Montgomery County Historical Society’s new exhibit “A Stitch in Time”. This new exhibit will highlight textile masterpieces and will include items rarely on view, as well as important cornerstones of the museum’s quilt collection. Current members of the Friends of the Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County as well as members of the MCHS can view the exhibit during a special preview on Friday, February 28, from 4 to 6 pm at Lane Place.

2013 Annual Report

The Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County had another busy, successful year in 2013. We welcomed 4,439 visitors and hosted many exciting programs including our popular Pi Day, Poetry Day, and Brain Day events in conjunction with Wabash College. In addition, Dr. Greta Binford, Biology professor, Arachnologist, and North Montgomery High School graduate, visited the museum this summer to give a talk about spiders and her work, as well as lead a group out to the Sugar Creek Nature Park to look for spiders here in Crawfordsville. She was an excellent speaker who presented to a crowd of all ages, and we hope to have her back again in the future. The Carnegie Museum also served as a venue for the North Montgomery High School Creative Writing event, which brought the students out of the school building to share their works. Photos with Santa was another popular event that brought to the museum over one hundred visitors in just a few hours to meet Santa and have a photo taken with him in our holiday décor. 2013 Exhibits: The Carnegie Museum hosted the exhibit How Does it Work? created in conjunction with Tuttle Middle School students, selections from the Hoosier Salon, and the Crawfordsville Schools K-8 Art Show. The museum also served as the first venue for Hoosiers & Their Hooch: Perspectives on Prohibition, the Indiana Historical Society’s newest traveling exhibit. As part of the 2013 Summer at the Museum program, the Carnegie Museum also hosted the national traveling exhibit Go Figure! on loan from the Minnesota Children’s Museum. It was well received, and it was wonderful to see so many little ones having fun during their visit. The Carnegie Museum also welcomed many elementary school field trips, scout troops, local organizations, and community group meetings and visitors from all over the United States and the world.
