    There was a thread about the La Porte County historical society museum a little ways back:
    https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...at-collection-firearms-such-small-museum.html

    This weekend they're having Civil War reenactments. $5 fee per carload gives access to the aforementioned museum as well as all the festivities. Bring out the family!
