Evansville Museum
The second location of our Public Museum was made available in 1927 by the generosity of the Y.W.C.A., who let the museum have, for a token rental, the use of their abandoned building on Second Street near Court. It was a nondescript affair made by combining two ancient residences, one of them the old home of Samuel Bayard, banker, the other one the home of Joseph Setchell, operator of mail stagecoaches. Here, under severe handicaps, a devoted staff carried on until the present fine museum was erected in 1959.
