The Indiana historical society has a very beautiful building that seems like it has its own history! We were there for an even in the evening, so not much was open, but the staff we interacted with were all very helpful.

Went to a wedding reception here. Great space and charming. The acoustics are not the best for a band, but it worked.

The Cole Porter section was very cool with the player piano and the live singer, but the rest of the museum was underwhelming. The living history sections are a cool idea but I had no idea what to ask the historians. Maybe give the museum patrons a piece of paper with some interesting questions to ask to at least start a conversation.

I have been a long-time fan of the Indiana Historical Society. However, the last couple of visits have been lackluster. Perhaps since I attended their free Thursdays in summer events, they didn't feel the need to provide a full program. However, this would be a great opportunity to gain new members.And, I am still hoping for the return of the Member Plus 1 membership.

I have been a teacher of Indiana Studies for over 26 years. I hate to be 'that guy' who gives a bad review; but in this case I must. We planned a whole afternoon of our vacation with intention of seeing what there is to offer from this museum. What we saw was a beautiful building with as many artifacts on display as I have in two boxes in my classroom. Pointers should be taken from the Chicago, Boston and Richmond historical museums. Cahokia Mounds exhibit (outside St. Louis) puts the Angel Mound to shame. Fellow Hoosiers beware.
