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.
2024 marks another significant milestone; the grand opening of the Carmel Clay History Museum – a community resource dedicated not only to preserving our community’s history, but also a welcoming environment where everyone can connect with the stories that shape Carmel.
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
Please consider becoming a corporate sponsor or event sponsor for CCHS in 2025. Your company can receive exposure to local residents and tourists alike by sponsoring any of the CCHS events or activities. We are available to meet at your convenience to discuss an opportunity to enhance your company, our community and the Carmel Clay Historical Society. Thank you!
