Wabash County, Indiana was first established in 1833, but was not politically organized until 1835. The county celebrated its centennial August 2-8, 1936. Both Decatur and Wabash counties celebrated with parades, pageants, religious services, exhibits, and other activities and also distributed "wooden nickel" souvenirs that could be redeemed for 5 cents from the respective Centennial Associations.From April 11 to April 22, 1961, L.S. Ayres and Company in Indianapolis, Indiana hosted the U.S. Civil War Centennial Exhibit in their auditorium. The exhibit included a section about Abraham Lincoln, Civil War weapons, a map of Morgan's Raid in Indiana, and letters, diaries, and currency from the war.
