New Castle Museum

Constructed in 1893 of unglazed brick, the building at 116 North 4th originally served as Town Hall, with a fire station located in the front. With the construction of the new Town Hall in 1984, the building became the town museum.

The museum contains photographs, animal pelts, kitchenware and other household goods, old-fashioned medicines, a collection of oral histories and other relics of New Castle’s history. Behind the museum stands the town calaboose. The tiny jail, also built in 1893, has two-foot thick walls of rough quarried stone.
