It may come as a surprise that although small in size Ohio County is rich in history. Much of the wonderful history can be found in the museum, which is listed on the register of historic places. Originally the complex of buildings housed the Clore Plow Works beginning in 1850 and ending in 1910. Plows and other farming implements manufactured by the factory are on exhibit.

The centerpiece of the Historical Society’s collection is the world famous Hoosier Big Boy“Hoosier Boy” raceboat owned and operated by J. W. Whitlock of Rising Sun. Racing enthusiasts will be acquainted with the boat that set the speed record on the Ohio River. In 1924, Whitlock raced from Cincinnati to Louisville and back again. The round trip is 267 miles and he completed the race in 267 minutes and 49 seconds. In 19 years of racing Whitlock lost only two races. Come and see the boat and 16 of the trophies he won. Other Whitlock artifacts include an Autoharp (first coin-operated jukebox-patent sold to Wurlitzer) and several chairs made in his furniture factory.

Special exhibits include quilts, fashion, pedal cars, operating model trains, and George Winter Native American paintings. Call for dates of exhibits and programs. 812-438-4915

At Harps on Main you are welcome both to see harps being made, on a self-guided tour, and to hear the final result. William Rees has been building harps for thirty years and his move to Rising Sun has put Ohio County on the map with harp beginners and professionals alike.

Even those who think they have no musical talent will enjoy the many Celtic gift items which join the finished harps in the studio. William and his sons also build plucked psalteries. These little instruments are the connect-the-dot coloring book of the musical world – perfect for non-musicians! Relax in Harps on Main’s beautiful garden setting and listen to any of a wide array of Celtic or harp CDs.

Take one of these home and bring a little piece of your soothing day in Rising Sun with you. Harps on Main regularly hosts concerts.
