From its earliest days, the Museum and the Miami County Historical Society have been intertwined in their development inspired by the state's centennial anniversary in 1916, the Governor asked each Indiana county to form a historical society, thus MCHS was born. Since this time, the society has provided governance and resources for the museum making it one of the larger "small" museums in the country. The Museum has enjoyed support from the Miami County government from the start, evidenced by the museum's first home on the fourth floor of the courthouse. This support continues today with half of the Museum's operating budget provided by Miami County. The remainder is provided by the Society through fundraising and special events. The collection size is over 150,000 historical objects and archival materials with two floors of exhibits, and a third currently reserved for storage of collections. There is fundraising  being sought at this time for moving this storage to an offsite location in order to use the third floor for more exhibit space.
