History of the Museum

The Indiana Military Museum incorporated in 1984 under the leadership of Knox County Superior Court Judge Jim R. Osborne. A longtime collector of military artifacts, Judge Osborne serves as the museum’s director and curator.

 

On May 31, 2013, the museum celebrated its grand opening at a new site adjacent to the Vincennes/Knox County Convention & Visitors Bureau—the first phase of a multi-phase future expansion plan.
