The History Museum

"This tour is one of the most amazing tours I been on. I love our tour guy ! Very patient with everyone. Had a great attitude & kept us very informed the entire time. He really took his time and that was appreciated."

"The only complaint I have is make sure you allow yourself a lot more time than what we did - we arrived at 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon and did not have enough time to see everything before closing. We will definitely be going back to finish our tour another day. ❤️"

"I must admit that it is a very interesting museum. Even though I came here just passing through, I was not disappointed. It is worth coming here and learning about the history of this region."

"Wonderful place to learn about the history of South Bend! Definitely worth it to get tickets for both museums (History & Studebaker; thank u senior discount). I'm not much of a car fan, but those old cars were beautiful and historical info very interesting (especially on the Presidential cars). We purchased the tickets late (about 1.5 hrs before closing), but the cashier said they are good for 2 days! We did not finish one museum and were able to book a tour of the Oliver Mansion for the next day (included in ticket), and complete most of both museums. There is a LOT to see, so unfortunately did not complete all floors. * Mansion Tour is definitely worth it - allocate 1.5hrs just for the mansion tour. Our docent Kate was awesome! You view a 15-20 minute video before the tour. Interesting to learn history on plow innovation by Mr. Oliver and impactful manufacturing boom in So. Bend. Staff was friendly and helpful; there is a gift shop in each museum. There is a lot to see, but not much hands-on activities for little kids, so something to considier. Would recommend this for anyone relocating to So. Bend - and happy 200 YEAR ANNIVERSARY to So. Bend in 2023!"

"Had a lovely time touring the museum and the Oliver Mansion. Our tour guide was very informative. The Mansion and Garden were absolutely spectacular. A must see!"
