Tippecanoe Historical Society Museum
20 N 3rd Street, Tipp City, OH 45371
The Tippecanoe Historical Society Museum is housed in the former Tipp City post office, which served the community from 1929–1939 and was the first post office to receive mail addressed to “Tipp City” after the town’s name changed from “Tippecanoe” and then “Tippecanoe City.” Since opening its doors in 1991, the museum has collected and preserved artifacts, photographs, documents, and memorabilia that tell the story of Tipp City and Monroe Township. Visitors can explore local businesses, civic life, and everyday stories that shaped “Old Tippecanoe” into the vibrant small town it is today.
