The Monon Railroad Historical-Technical Society, Inc. was formed
in the mid-1970s as a not-for-profit organization exclusively for educational
purposes by a group of individuals interested in preserving the memory of
the Monon Railroad. The three main purposes of The Monon Society, as it has
become known, are to: (A) Engage in the collection and preservation of information,
vestige, and other items of historical or technical interest concerning the
Monon Railroad
and its predecessor companies or subsidiaries. (B) Engage in research concerning
The Monon for educational purposes. (C) Maintain an association of persons
having an interest in The Monon.
Our new World
Headquarters is located in the birthplace of the railroad, Salem, Indiana,
in The
Salem Depot Museum. A portion of The Depot Museum's new addition
is exclusively for the Monon Railroad Historical-Technical
Society, Inc.
for Board
Of Directors meetings, storage and display of its archives. The entire
Depot building will be available for Monon Society use. The Monon Society's
world headquarters was previously at Linden, Indiana, north of
Crawfordsville, between 1995 and 2013.
