History museum planned as Carmel's latest attraction

A museum focused on Carmel's past will soon rise in one of the city's newest districts.

The Carmel Clay Historical Society broke ground in June on the Carmel Clay History Museum. The 10,000-square-foot museum will be at the southwest corner of First Street SW and Monon Boulevard, along the border between Midtown and the Arts & Design District.

Carmel-based Studio M Architecture & Planning designed the museum that is expected to open late next year or in early 2025.

"Carmel has more history than people give it credit for," Carmel Clay Historical Society Executive Director Debbie Gangstad told IBJ. "We've evolved from that small, little rural town that really was one of the smallest in Hamilton County. It's made a jump, and there were a lot of stories in between that place and where we are now."
