Putnam County Founding Families

This program was created for families with roots going back to the early days of this county to reflect on its place, impact and story in Putnam County.

2018 Founding Family

The Vaugh(a)n family came from the Lancaster, Kentucky area to Putnam County in the late 1830's. It produced generations of educators and farmers in the Putnam County community. #PutnamCountyIndiana #PutnamCountyMuseum #LancasterKentucky #HoosierHomestead

The April 25th O'Hair Putnam County Founding Families exhibit presentation has been cancelled. Likely, the event and setup may be moved to early autumn. Until then, we are still searching for more families that would like to participate in the program.

Thanks!,
