About Us

The Carmel Clay Historical Society (CCHS) was formed in 1975 by a group of local residents as part of the nation’s Bicentennial celebration and dedicated the study of Carmel and Clay Township’s history. That same year the City of Carmel gave the historic 1883 Monon Railroad Depot to the society, which it maintains today as a museum of local history.

The Carmel Clay Historical Society enriches the lives of residents and visitors
through education and engagement in our community’s vibrant history.

CCHS is committed to:

sharing the authentic history of our community;
engaging our diverse community in the relevancy and impact of local history;
serving as an educational resource for our community; and
curating, preserving, and stewarding the community’s historical collections
