Enjoy a Walking Tour of Historic Downtown Winamac

You Are HERE! You either are or were looking at this map, affixed to a building that serves to encompass Heritage Park. The Pulaski County Historical Society & Museum building was erected and opened in 2025, as was Heritage Park. Aspects of the Park were funded by a Heritage Support Grant. Heritage Support Grants are provided by the Indiana Historical Society and made possible by Lilly Endowment Inc.

 

The tour is set in what we believe to be a good walking order. However, you could choose to go to two or three sites today, then come back another day, and so on. This web series is set in the same order as the map.
