 The Horace Greeley House, the Greeley family's country home from 1864-1872, is the headquarters for the New Castle Historical Society's programs, exhibits, and extensive research resources. The Horace Greeley House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It provides a handsome example of 19th century architecture and has historic significance as the former home of one of the town's most celebrated residents. The house is situated on a hillside close to the center of town, where it has been a well-loved landmark for nearly 150 years.

The New Castle Historical Society was chartered to discover, preserve and communicate knowledge of the history of the Town of New Castle. The Horace Greeley House offers permanent exhibits on the Horace Greeley era and our Quaker heritage, as well as other rotating exhibits. The Museum Archives include books, photographs, costumes, maps, local diaries, and merchants' records.
