Neier Family Exhibit

Thursday, May 31, 2018
The Neier Family of Putnam County is the latest in the series of Founding Families featured at the Putnam County Museum, 1105 N. Jackson St., Greencastle. The Neiers first settled in the old Mill Creek Township on a farm they referred to as The Old Homeplace. The farmhouse figured prominently in gatherings and get-togethers of the extended family over generations. Featured artifacts include tools for wool and flax working, coverlets, a rope bed, ​​photos and artwork. The opening day speaker, Jerry Bates, son of Barbara Neier Bates, will present the family story at the museum at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 3. The program is free and open to the public. Persons may call 653-8419 for more information.
