We reached 1.4 million people through visitation, programs, outreach and services. It was a great year, as you’ll see in this report. Everything we do is based on our mission as Indiana’s Storyteller and our commitment to collecting, preserving, interpreting and sharing our state’s history. We serve as an important resource for educators, students and researchers – professional and personal. We strive to make Indiana’s history relevant to the rest of the country’s history and to the world today. Connecting people to the past is our most important purpose, and we are able to do it in interesting ways thanks to your support and the support of our Board of Trustees and community advisors. Our particularly powerful You Are There about Italian POWs in Camp Atterbury has truly touched visitors to the History Center. You Are There: Eli Lilly at the Beginning brought thousands of people into Col. Lilly’s original lab. Our latest You Are There presents the Battle of Gettysburg in an innovative and captivating style. Our permanent Indiana Experience offerings of Destination Indiana, the W. Brooks and Wanda Y. Fortune History Lab and the Cole Porter Room continue to delight.
