Built by Andrew Wylie, Indiana University's First President, in 1835, the Wylie House Museum is one of Bloomington's oldest structures and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

 

Wylie House contains an outstanding collection of early to mid-19th century American furnishings, including many Wylie family artifacts. A large collection of Wylie family letters and personal papers are housed in University Archives.

 

The mission of the museum is to preserve and study the house, artifacts and documents and through them to interpret for the public our local history and domestic heritage as it is embodied by the early Wylie home.
