The Tannenbaum Center was originally the local Steam Plant that provided heat for the County Jail (now the Old Jail Museum) and County Courthouse in Crawfordsville.  The structure had not been used for years and was refurbished to provide a small education/meeting area for community use.  A Kitchenette, Accessible Bathroom and Craft Room was added to the rear of the structure to expand the educational art programs sponsored by the museum.  The work was completed in 2008.
