====The History Museum==== The History Museum is the public name of the Northern Indiana Historical Society, the second-oldest historical society in Indiana, established in 1867 to collect and interpret the history of the northern Indiana region by St. Joseph County's leading citizens. [[Joseph D. Oliver House|The Oliver Mansion]] (also known by its original name, Copshaholm) is one of the central features of the museum. The 38-room mansion was built in 1895 and is currently listed in the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. The home was built by Joseph Doty Oliver, son of James Oliver, the founder of the [[Oliver Farm Equipment Company]], once the largest plow manufacturer in the United States.<ref name=CFH>{{cite web |url = http://centerforhistory.org/ |archive-url = https://archive.today/20130506034033/http://centerforhistory.org/ |url-status = usurped |archive-date = May 6, 2013 |title = The History Museum |website = The History Museum |access-date = August 27, 2017 }}</ref> In addition to the Oliver Mansion and the Workers Home (a 1920s Polish-American family home), the museum includes areas dedicated to the history of the St. Joseph River Valley, the University of Notre Dame, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, and the Kidsfirst Children's Museum.<ref name=CFH />
