The Museum complex is located in Laporte, in the square behind the Courthouse on Meylert Street.  The MAIN BUILDING contains records and artifacts relevant to the history of Sullivan County, its people and the surrounding areas.  For a listing of some of the resources available in the Museum, click here.

The BALDWIN HOUSE and garden are located across Meylert Street from the Museum main building.  Built in the 1850’s, this is one of the oldest houses in Laporte.  It is now a house museum illustrating life in Sullivan County before 1880.  It is open the same hours as the Museum for guided tours.  To read more about the house and garden, click here.
