Newburgh Museum is 20 minutes outside of Evansville on the Ohio River Scenic Byway. The Newburgh Museum is located downtown on Main Street in the Old Newburgh Presbyterian Church, and visitors will find exhibits about Newburgh’s founding and history. It was the first town Confederate forces captured north of the Mason-Dixon Line during the Civil War. Permanent exhibits recount four eras of the town’s history – founding, industrial heyday, decline, and modern resurgence. Although the museum is only open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays for about 4 hours, visitors to Evansville can call the museum to arrange for tours by appointment. There is no admission fee, but donations are encouraged.
