Evansville has a rich history dating back to 1839. It has left its imprint on generations of people, all around the world. Those of us who live here take part in that history every day, whether we are newcomers or whether we can trace our roots back to the city's founding. Keeping that history alive and vibrant has been the goal of the Evansville Grove Society since 1993. 

The Grove Society takes its name from the informal title that the first settlers gave to their community. The Society supports historic preservation and research in many ways, including: 
  • Owning and maintaining the historic Baker Office building, located at Madison Street and Antes Drive, which houses a museum containing photographs, artifacts and records of historic significance.
  • Maintaining and furnishing the Antes Cabin, at the same location, which is the last building remaining from a tourist resort that thrived in Lake Leota Park in the 1930s.
  • Sponsoring educational programs in the community, including the annual History in the Park picnic at Lake Leota Park.
  • Publishing articles relevant to Evansville's history, online and in local newspapers.
  • Collecting artifacts and donations from past and present Evansville residents.
