All of the over 100,000 items on display in our Museum are gifts to the Society by interested and generous citizens who share the interest in preserving the past for future generations.
Included in the displays are the relics and rare firearms willed to
the City of La Porte by W. A. Jones. 
This collection is considered to be the
third largest antique firearms collection in the world.
