Putnam County Historical Society Information.

The Putnam County Historical Society was incorporated in June of 1966. As stated in its articles of incorporation "the general purposes and objects of this corporation shall be to aid in the discovery and preservation of historical objects and events; to obtain funds for the erection of historical monuments and museums; to promote the interest of all people in the history of our area, particularly Putnam County."

The Society pursues these goals through several outlets, including:  operating the Bronson-Mulholland House and the Putnam Historic Museum, hosting bimonthly historical programs, and its involvement in historical preservation. The Bronson-Mulholland House is open to the public for tours Thursday through Monday from 12:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. The House is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and all major holidays. Admission is free but donations are gladly accepted. The Putnam Historic Museum is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 2:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.
