Museum Update

July 13, 2021

The Carmel History Museum building design is nearly completed, and we have been told by Clay Township officials that the groundbreaking will take place in October! The City of Carmel has offered to fund an exhibit designer and fabricator. CCHS will soon begin its capital campaign for other museum needs. Many of our longtime members initiated this opportunity forty years ago by purchasing the land where the museum will stand. We are grateful for their foresight!

The Depot will close during construction due to safety issues and accessibility to the construction site, but we want to assure you that the Depot will remain! The Depot will undergo some necessary renovations during that time, and when it reopens it will showcase a new train exhibit!
