The Indiana Historical Society lets visitors experience history in a whole new way!
Since 1830, the Indiana Historical Society has been Indiana’s Storyteller™, connecting people to the past by collecting, preserving, interpreting and sharing the state's history. A private, nonprofit membership organization, IHS maintains the nation's premier research library and archives on the history of Indiana and the Old Northwest. IHS also provides support and assistance to local museums and historical groups, publishes books and periodicals; sponsors teacher workshops; and provides youth, adult and family programming.
The Indiana Experience, which opened to the public on March 20, brings both the people of the state and visitors from around the world a uniquely Indiana experience. Interactive and high-technology experiences allow the IHS to share its tremendous archival holdings, including 1.6 million photographs, in meaningful and enjoyable ways. Hours for the Indiana Experience are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
