Based at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, the Indiana Historical Society (IHS) maintains the nation's top research library and archives on the history of Indiana and the Old Northwest, and it provides visitors with a unique and unforgettable educational experience called the “Indiana Experience.”
Visitors get to relive history on this fascinating journey, which features interactive displays and three-dimensional exhibitions in “You are There,” virtual trips through the state of Indiana in “Destination Indiana,” and immersion into the musical world of Hoosier legend Cole Porter in the popular “Cole Porter Room.”
Go to the W.Brooks and Wanda Y. Fortune History Lab to get an in-depth look at the work involved in research. The society also produces and hosts art exhibitions, and provides youth, adult, and family programming.
