Long Home Museum

1004 E. Market Street, Logansport

The Long Home was built in 1853 for Dr. George Jerolaman by architect George Bevan. In 1967, Benjamin H. Long generously donated the home to the Historical Society in memory of his parents, Benjamin F. Long and Lucy Nichols Long, and CCHS has operated it as a museum ever since. This Victorian Italianate home is a treasured part of Cass County's heritage and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Adjacent to the museum stands a two-story log cabin, originally built near Galveston, Indiana around 1863. It was carefully disassembled and reconstructed on this site in 1974.

In 2024, with support from the Indiana Historical Society and KJG Architects, a comprehensive structural analysis of the property was completed. Based on those findings, we are committed to restoring the Long Home and continuing its role as a charming and historically rich house museum. While some artifacts will eventually move to the new Cass County Museum, the Long Home will continue to showcase:

• Artwork by George Winter and Wils Berry
• Native American heritage
• Early settler and immigrant communities
• The William Chick Family Log Cabin
• The Carriage House
• Antique toys
• Antique furniture and housewares
• Quilts and other period textiles
• Traditional home arts

The Long Home site includes stairs and uneven terrain and may be difficult to navigate for visitors with mobility challenges. We are actively working to enhance accessibility across all CCHS locations.
