Indiana Humanities

In honor of Memorial Day, we thought we'd share some more information about the Indiana War Memorials, several of which are open for visitors today.

According to the State of Indiana's website, "the Indiana War Memorial Plaza Historic District includes the 30,000 square foot IWM Museum complete with military equipment and artifacts, three parks, four fountains, and 25 acres of monuments, statues, and sculptures in the heart of downtown Indianapolis."

We invite you to take some time today to reflect on Indiana's military history and those who died serving.

Did you know that time travel is just a quick drive away?

The Newburgh Museum in southern Indiana has unveiled its Time Travel Walking Tour, a new program that allows participants to find signs throughout downtown and use mobile phones to view historic photos from the museum’s collection taken from the same vantage points. It's a great way to explore a new city and learn about history simultaneously.

This program received support from a Historic Preservation Education Grant awarded by Indiana Humanities and Indiana Landmarks.
