Joseph Moore Museum

Joseph Moore Museum Eastern Indiana's natural history and science museum located at Earlham College in Richmond, IN.

The Joseph Moore Museum, a unique space on Earlham's campus, fosters education, exploration, and research on the natural and cultural history of Richmond, Indiana and the world. The Museum is housed on the campus of Earlham College and is required to follow all institutional guidelines. Earlham is a private college that has implemented masking and vaccination requirements as part of a campuswide e

ffort to ensure the health and safety of all members of the campus community, particularly those among us with compromised immune systems who are unable to receive a vaccination. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we must prioritize the safety of our students and employees.

We're all good here, just a little water. But campus is closed, so we are too.
