The permanent displays at the museum include information about the town’s founding, how it got its name, industry, merchants, war histories, social life and more! The museum’s featured exhibits rotate yearly, with updates every few months!

Welcome to our new Executive Director, Ivy Clark
The beauty and history of Newburgh has captivated me since a young age. Being active in my community is important to me as I have been a substitute teacher for WCSC since 2020. With completing my B.A. degree in Archaeology with the University of Evansville, I had the opportunity to intern with the Newburgh Museum. My passion has grown even deeper as I have gained experience through studies, excavations, and volunteering. If I am not working hands on with something, you can find me outdoors enjoying nature and exploration. I have always been a go-getter and I cannot wait to see what my future holds with the Newburgh Museum.
