The Dubois County Museum welcomes the Dubois County Chapter of the National Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) to the museum on Sunday, November 9, 2025, for a Veterans
program. The program will begin at 1:30 p.m. In this program they will give a history of Veterans Day.
Explaining why it exists, how it started and tying it into celebrating America’s 250th birthday. The chapter
will also give details on how DNA was used to find and match remains of an Unknown Soldier interred in
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D. C. The DAR will also give information about their
organization. Food and refreshments will follow the program.
The museum welcomes visitors to visit the museum’s comprehensive display on our county’s military
history. The cornerstone of the exhibit is the Civil War flag made by the mothers of the soldiers leaving
for war with the Indiana Company K. The flag returned with the soldiers tattered and torn after flying in
combats, noticeably the Battle of Antietam. The Dubois County Historical Society was instrumental in
having the flag restored and displayed at the museum.
Also, be sure to check out the 1918 Liberty Truck on display in Room Two at the museum. It was
restored by Bob and Shirley Demuth. The Liberty Truck was the workhorse of WW1.
