Each play is designed to fit into the rotation schedule of a custom-designed school tour visit. Performances last approximately 8 to 10 minutes, leaving time for a brief Q-and-A with the actors. You Are There plays are not part of the daily Indiana Experience offerings but can be added as a pre-selected visit option. Please inquire about availability at least two months before your visit. “1945: The Citizens Market” Get a snapshot of what World War II looked like at home, when everyday people did what they could to boost morale and help achieve victory. The scene takes place in Ernest Zwerner’s Terre Haute grocery store, the Citizens’ Market, on Jan. 20, 1945. Mrs. Watson, a regular customer, enters the store in a daze. It soon becomes clear that her son has not returned home from the war, and she suspects the worst. The two characters share stories, memories and a special letter – as well as ration points – in an effort to maintain optimism in such a frightening time. “1968: Robert F. Kennedy Speaks” A crowd gathered near the corner of 17th St. and Broadway on the night of April 4, 1968. Many of those assembled gathered early, eagerly anticipating the arrival of Robert Kennedy. This spot was selected as the Indianapolis location for his day long itinerary of statewide presidential campaign stops. While Robert Kennedy boarded a plane from Muncie to Indianapolis, he received shocking news. Upon his arrival, the update was tragic. Join two actors as they grapple with the painful event that had taken place only hours before and hear what Robert Kennedy said to the crowd. 6 You Are There Step into three-dimensional re-creations of historical photographs and documents complete with actors portraying historic characters. You Are There 1816: Indiana Joins the Nation (THROUGH JAN. 21, 2017) As Indiana celebrates its Bicentennial, step into the Corydon meeting house where delegates met to draft our first state constitution. Join the debate over topics such as slavery, education and the balance of power between branches of the new government. Meet characters like Jonathan Jennings, president of the 1816 constitutional convention and Indiana’s first governor; Dennis Pennington, a Harrison County representative and anti-slavery advocate; Robert Hanna, a politically active young farmer from Brookville; and Alexander Devin, a Christian minister representing Gibson County. Outside the meeting house, learn more about how Hoosiers lived in 1816 and how their world was changing. Read about the act of drafting a constitution and the process of statehood. Use our touchscreen interactive voting machines to participate in live-tally voting on issues such as education and personal liberty – civics lessons that unite citizens past and present. Presented by The O’Bannon Foundation, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation, and Jock and Penny Fortune School group activities underwritten by Bingham Greenebaum Doll and Indiana Bar Foundation IN THIS YOU ARE THERE, YOUR STUDENTS • 4th grade Social Studies 4.1.6 MIGHT BE INSPIRED TO ASK: • U.S.

  • William Hendricks' Political Circulars to His
    William Hendricks’ Political Circulars to his Constituents : Congressional Period, 1816-1822 Frederick D. Hill* William Hendricks, though unknown to most modern Hoosiers, played a prominent role in the later years of In- diana territorial history and the early decades of statehood. His career in public office spanned the period from 1813, when he became clerk of the territorial House of Representa- tives, to 1837, when congressional adjournment marked the end of his tenure as United States senator. Hendricks’ service in Congress-in the House from 1816 to 1822 and in the Senate from 1825 to 1837-occurred at a tjme when it was difficult for western congressmen to keep in touch with their constituents. Because travel by horseback, riverboat, or carriage was slow, they could not visit their home districts during a session of Congress. With sessions lasting from three to six months, they could not be in their districts more than six to nine months each year. Long distance communication also was difficult because without the telephone, the telegraph, or electronic media, messages could be transmitted no faster than a person could travel. Hendricks and other representatives engaged in voluminous correspondence, but few of the people they represented could have been reached by individual letters. One effective and widely used device for keeping constituents informed was the political circular. During the eighteen years that Hendricks represented the people of Indiana in Congress, he wrote political circulars to his constituents annually. He usually wrote them about the time Congress adjourned, and they were widely distributed * Frederick D. Hill is Professor of History at Indiana Central Col- lege, Indianapolis.
