The Barker Mansion’s new permanent exhibit

Featured Exhibit

The Haskell & Barker Car Company and The Legacy of Freight exhibit will take you through Michigan City from the 1830’s to the early 1900’s.  The exhibit is a tribute to the Haskell & Barker freight car factory and its workers through state-of-the-art visual displays.  A highlight of the exhibit features a spectacular scale model of the Haskell & Barker factory designed and created by students from Purdue Northwest’s College of Technology.

Join us at the revolutionary Haskell & Barker factory as we embark on the journey of a boxcar and explore the city where it all started.

Accessibility

The Barker Mansion has an accessibility ramp in the rear of the building so guests can access the first floor and first floor bathroom. The lower level is accessible via two chair lifts. We ask that those who require the ramp call ahead so that staff can meet guests at the side entrance on 7th Street: (219) 873-1520. Please contact the Mansion with any questions. We are happy to help!
