Henager Family Museum

This museum is located just south of Buckskin, Ind., in Gibson County and museum began as a repository for family memorabilia. Items included equipment and other items from the family’s long line of woodworking history. The family also had a collection of items of local historical interest, including photos, printed materials, automotive equipment & vehicles and military items. These items were available for public viewing at the family’s historical wood shop. As time passed, the local community as well as individuals and businesses across the nation became interested in the museum and began donating additional items for display. Currently the museum receives items for display from all across the nation. The preservation and display process will require more space which will include the acquisition of additional land and the construction of larger facilities, including the National Veterans Memorial.
