The Carmel Clay Historical Society (CCHS) was formed in 1975 by a group of local residents as part of the nation’s Bicentennial celebration and dedicated the study of Carmel and Clay Township’s history. That same year the City of Carmel gave the historic 1883 Monon Railroad Depot to the society, which it maintains today as a museum of local history.
2024 marks another significant milestone; the grand opening of the Carmel Clay History Museum – a community resource dedicated not only to preserving our community’s history, but also a welcoming environment where everyone can connect with the stories that shape Carmel.
