The Stevens Memorial Museum serves as the hub for the John Hay Center museum complex. With three floors of items unique to Washington County and her people, our collection makes one proud of the community. Within our Pioneer Village, we showcase some of the oldest structures from Washington County: a church, a schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, and several houses. We have an antebellum store with a post office and, of course, our center's namesake and National Landmark, the birthplace and boyhood home of John Milton Hay. Within the Village "garage" we model transportation over the ages and pay homage to the strong agricultural heritage we have here in Southern Indiana. The Depot houses multiple pieces of memorabilia pertaining to Washington County's integral role in bringing the Monon Railroad into the world. Over time, pieces have been added to honor the L&N, the CSX, and many other railroads--a delight to rail fans young and old.
