Adams Mill Museum of Americana*

1845 Grist Mill
Cutler, Indiana

Adams Mill, powered by the waters of Wildcat Creek, was built in 1845 by John Adams. The mill is now a museum of Americana open to the public for tours on weekends and by special arrangement. A small village sprang up around the Mill and in 1850, the government granted the Wildcat Post Office on the second floor. The Wildcat Masonic Lodge 311 was one of two lodges to be started in a mill in Indiana. They met on the third floor from 1864 to 1867. The mill is a prime example of post and beam construction common to the 19th century agricultural structures in Indiana. No nails were used in the original framework, only wooden pegs. Posts and beams are made of walnut and the joists are of oak. All the lumber was harvested locally and hand-hewn or cut on site. The mill produced assorted grades of flour for over 100 years during the tenure of nine owners. Finely ground cake flour was a specialty of Adams Mill. Commercial milling ceased in the 1950s. The vast majority of the original machinery is still operational.

Camden Museum *

183 West Main Street
Camden, Indiana 46917

Located on the second floor of the Camden Public Library, the Camden Museum opened in 1986. It began as a Community Improvement Project for the Camden Literary Club and has grown to four rooms of memorabilia, which tell the history of the town, its school, and its businesses. The curtain from the Camden Opera House, turn-of-the century opera clothes, a land grant signed by President Martin Van Buren, and school trophies and pictures dating back to the first graduating class of 1899 provide a glimpse of life over the years in this small town. The building housing the library and museum is also a treasure. Designated as a National Historic Landmark, it has been lovingly restored by the town's citizens. The stately brick building represents Italianate architecture and was built in 1869.
