The French settlement of Besançon, a historic settlement in New Haven, is on the eastern edge of the town along the Lincoln Highway. The society has restored Nickel Plate 765 built by the Lima Locomotive Works of Lima, Ohio and restored the Craigville Depot, which are housed at the New Haven site. The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society operates east of New Haven on Edgerton Road. In the 1850's the Swiss Amish arrived in the region, and what makes them distinct is that they speak an Alsatian German Language.

Green built a large frame Greek Revival house on the hill above what is now Schnelker Park and the former New Haven Elementary School building. A Burgess home on Summit Street is the oldest brick structure in Jefferson Township.
