The beginnings of the museum's current location.

 
The Jerolaman-Long Home, built in 1853 for Dr. George Jerolaman, became "home" to the CCHS museum in 1967. It was donated by the Benjamin Long family at that time. This is the 3rd home for the museum since the CCHS was formed in 1907. First there were rooms in the Logansport City Building, next, in 1954 the museum was housed in the home of the first Mayor, Jordan Vigus.

This is the master bedroom as it appeared in 1967.
