July 2026 Update Updates to the Indiana Bottle Collectors website will be temporarily paused during the month of July 2026 as we work behind the scenes on a major reorganization of the site. Over the past several months, it has become clear that maintaining a comprehensive reference covering the entire state of Indiana requires more time than can realistically be dedicated to the project. To allow for more frequent updates and a higher-quality resource, the website will soon shift its primary focus to Northwest Indiana, with special emphasis on Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties. The Indiana Hutchinson Bottle and Indiana Embossed Dairy Bottle reference sections will continue to cover the entire state and will remain active and updated for the whole state. However, most other sections outside Northwest Indiana will no longer receive regular updates. Additional information about these changes, including the reasons behind them and what visitors can expect moving forward, will be announced soon. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project by sharing photographs, historical information, and bottle discoveries. Your contributions have helped make this website possible, and we appreciate your continued support as we begin this new chapter.

Explore Indiana Bottled History

IndianaBottleCollectors.com is a statewide project, launched in December 2025, dedicated to preserving the history of Indiana bottles, bottlers, dairies, saloons, and small-town beverage and dairy businesses.

Many Indiana towns have not yet been added to the archive. New entries will continue to be added over time through research and user submissions, with a strong emphasis on LaPorte County.

Help build the archive

We currently have 255 bottler entries published and active on this site so far.
Much of this database is built from collector and community submissions. If you have photos, bottles, signs, stoneware, brewery items, or medicine and apothecary bottles related to a local dairy or bottling works, feel free to submit them to be added to the archive.
