Pound Store Museum to open
By MARILYN KETROW Guest Writer The Kosciusko County Historical Society will open the doors to the Pound Store Museum on Sunday, June 14. Open house at the museum, located on Armstrong Road in Oswego, will be from 1 to 4 p.m. Don Frantz, president, and members of the society invite the public to, come enjoy the displays of prehistoric and early historical items of Kosciusko County. A visit to Pound Store will provide visitors with much to entertain, educate and occasionally surprise them. The displays are authentic acquisitions of the historical society. They were all donated by the public except for the Indian relics and private showing of historical articles which are presented by the Indian Lore group of the society. Owners of the unique and valuable private collections will be present to answer questions visitors may have.

In 1837 they built the building of sturdy poplar logs and operated the trading post and general store. French was appointed Indian agent and as such helped get the Indians of Chief Musquabuck’s tribe moved from the Tippecanoe River area to Kansas in March, 1836. He and his partners laid out the plans for Oswego and turned their building south so it faced the road.

The post office was put in the store and Pound served as postmaster for many years, until the post office was moved to Leesburg. The old post office may be “open" from time to time this summer with Waldo Adams, county historian, serving as “postmaster pro tern” in the original post office corner of the store.
