About Kosciusko County Historical Society

The Kosciusko County Historical Society, founded in 1966 as a nonprofit, works to preserve and share local history. Its Old Jail Museum in downtown Warsaw holds many artifacts from the county, shown across the jail's cells and bullpens and in the rooms of the sheriff's residence. The society also runs a genealogy research library and discussion group, publishes a quarterly magazine for members, and operates a store selling local history books and photo collections.
