The Haan Mansion Museum of Indiana Art is more than a house museum – it is a museum of Indiana art located in an historic mansion that served as the Connecticut Building at the 1904 St Louis Worlds Fair. Parts of the Connecticut building were taken from a 1760 mansion in Norwich CT, so many of the components were hand carved before the Declaration of Independence. The building was dismantled and moved to Lafayette at the close of the fair. The contents include a phenomenal Indiana art collection (including many T C steele paintings), a collection of historic and current Indiana ceramics, and massive American furniture primarily of the 1860-1890 Renaissance Revival period, all housed in an architectural gem.
