Allen County Museum

The Allen County Museum is worked by the Allen County Historical Society which was framed in 1908. Initially situated in Lima's Memorial Hall, the Historical Society exceeded the accessible space by 1935, and started secretly raising assets to assemble a gallery. Led by Elizabeth M.

Possessing a half city hinder, the exhibition hall grounds incorporates the fundamental gallery assembling, a log house, the MacDonell House a Victorian manor, a Shay Locomotive show, the Children's Discovery Center, family history and nearby history library, railroad chronicles, and the Children's Garden.
