Nappanee History comes to life when the lights go out. On October 5, 2024, from 6 – 8 pm, The Nappanee Public Library and the ELC Heritage Collection will present the 13th annual Night at the Museum: Along Came Nappanee. This production is a lights-out, after hours tour of the ELC Heritage Collection at the Nappanee Center, located at 302 W Market St. Nappanee, Indiana.

During the tour, guides will take you on an interactive flashlight adventure through the museum, with live actors portraying the parts of Nappanee citizens. Participants will learn more about the town of Nappanee and how it came to be. The script for Along Came Nappanee, written by Martha Owen, Heritage Collection Manager at Nappanee Public Library, focuses on the feud between Nappanee and Locke and the creating of our beloved small town, 150 years ago.
