Over the past year the museum has seen an increase of interest in renting museum space as well as school groups touring from Wabash County and surrounding counties. Communications Manager, Brooke Duecker said, “We are hearing word spread throughout the area that the museum is more than just a museum; it is an educational and event center and the Parkview Wabash Education Center was really the launching point.”
