for Porter County Museum 7H[W DQG 3KRWRV %\ 67(9( (89,12 )HDWXUH :ULWHU Which would you rather visit — a museum located in a former jail or one located in a former retail shop? On one hand, the Porter County Museum move was short, just across the street. On the other hand, everything is now on one floor and housed in a more modern, welcoming structure. “The old museum was located in the Porter County sheriff’s home and county jail, which was meant to be intimidating,” said Quinn Albert, a visitor experience associate at the museum. “This is not intimidating.” The museum foundation moved items from the old museum last year. Porter County owns the previous museum while the foundation is in charge of the new facility, which opened in May 2022. Another advantage to the new site, Albert said, is that the museum can host special exhibits while rotating other exhibits. Some of the exhibits have gained an audience. That includes bones from a mastodon first found on Myron Benedict’s farm in Boone Grove around 1909. Benedict stored the remains in a corn crib. Then 40 years later, his children did more digging and discovered the rest of the bones. Many of those bones remain at the downtown Valparaiso museum while others are at Chicago’s Field Museum. The local exhibit came down at the end of April. Continued on page 2
