We illuminate the present by bringing the past to life
The Barker Mansion serves to interpret the history of the Barker legacy and its context within Michigan City, Indiana. We accomplish this through interpretive tours, exhibits, lectures, musical performances, specialty tours, city walking tours, galas, crafts, and other special events. The mansion is also available for rentals for weddings, nonprofit meetings, family gatherings, photo shoots, conventions, birthday parties, and other events.
Through tours, lectures, and other public programs, the Barker Mansion’s architecture, collections, and social history create a living museum for both the scholar and casual visitor. The Mansion operates as a non-profit institution for schools, civic and cultural groups, and the public at large.
