About this place

Ruthmere Campus is a pair of historic houses with gardens that tell the story of Elkhart's founding through the Beardsley family. Visitors can join guided tours of the mansion and the Havilah Beardsley House, attend concerts and educational programs, or explore the art collection inside. The site sits where two rivers meet and includes an arts reference library where families can learn about the architecture and design of the buildings and grounds.

If you are a member here

A membership to Ruthmere Museum Campus carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
