Reviews
"We checked into the La Porte County Historical Society Museum' which featured everything about La Porte from vehicles, old memorabilia, and historical pieces. There is a lot of unique information and amazing artifacts. It's definitely worth visiting. Not only was it a very reasonable priced entry, but they had a couple of games you can enjoy yourself for a free pin. We played all three, so we got three pins! Did you find these items? Find the yarn to find the answer and figure out which car."
"A lot of collections! Come on Tuesday. The ticket is buy one get one free"
"Great museum! Very nice collection of cars and other old memorabilia. Displays of typical home life, dentists office, Dr office, huge antique and unique firearm collection!! Highly recommend a visit to this place."
"We stopped here just to check it out because it seemed like a cool little place to walk through. Overall, I can say we were blown away but the size of the building. It was huge. The place is very well kept with a lot of great information to read. There were so many articles from both the town and history in general. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys history. Not the greatest place for little kids. I loved the old cars and all of the guns. A must see if you are in LaPorte. You can’t beat the $5 admission price either."
"Went with friends to listen to speakers on Belle Gunness. Very informative. The LAPORTE Museum is a nice way to gain history on Laporte and it’s something to do that doesn’t cost a lot of money. They have a nice little gift shop. You can become a member for as little as $15 and they have informational meetings on different topics."
