Indiana Historical Society

Great work Amy! And kudos to all who work on our Indiana History!!

Thanks, Sally. We'll look forward to being a resource for you and everyone you refer!

Thanks, I always go to the author fair each year, looking forward to seeing it and the new History market then.

We'll look forward to seeing you there, Russell!

Don't know, Shawn. What would people say about our pictures 90 years later? Probably something like "Why is that woman's hair spiked up in the back and long in the front and why does that guy's shirt say 'Ed Hardy' on it?"

The "fake woman",..looks like a "Blow Up Doll",..and you know what they say,....."Blow Up Dolls Take My Breath Away!"

Thanks for linking up with us, John--and for your support through membership. We've got a lot of exiting programs heading your way this spring!

Looking forward to the Open House soon. Hope I can help.

Is it reopening Monday?

tell us what's new and different..will be some time before I can check it out!

A ventless fryer and ventless grill have allowed Hoaglin to expand its already great menu...when you have a chance to visit, look for some of the new items like the "More Than Grilled Cheese" and the Hoaglin signature burger on focaccia, (with sundried pesto torte, applewood bacon and carmelized onion--YUM)!

We're checking for you, Stephen. We definitely don't have one in our online digital collection.

Stephen--I'm afraid we weren't able to find a photograph for you in our collection. You might try contacting the Indiana State Library...that Web site is www.library.in.gov.

I'm sorry we couldn't be of help to you on this particular request--but please don't hesitate to try us again, as we do really have quite a bit in our collections (including 1.6 million photographs).

I think I saw this guy at Citizen's Market once. He had a beard at the time though.

He came from the hills of Kentucky and became a Great Man .

Looks like Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties are isolated from the rest of the state. We're still the unwanted stepchildren of Indiana.

Stephen--you're not the unwanted stepchildren of Indiana...you're our northern trailblazers!

2008 census data for Indiana says we now number 6,376,792. It's easy math to calculate we've grown by more than 6 million in 159 years. That's an average of 37,735 surivving babies per year. BTW the entire 2008 US population was 304,059,724. (Yes I googled this.) Lord only knows how many cows and chickens we have now, but due to modern farming they hardly take up any space.

According to population statistics collected by the U.S. government - 4,050 American Indians lived in Indiana in 1830. That's the same year Indian Removals began in the state.

I have loved Hilary in the movies I have seen, especially "MIllion Dollar Baby". This should be another good one.

Does anyone know if Amelia Earhart had a child that she put up for adoption?
