By Staff Report-
The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, home of the IHS and the Indiana Experience, is at 450 W. Ohio St., downtown Indianapolis.
In March, the Indiana Historical Society launched its Indiana Experience - a set of new interactive and high-technology experiences that allow the IHS to share its tremendous archival holdings, including 1.6 million photographs, in meaningful and enjoyable ways.
Ongoing elements of the Indiana Experience include:
- "You Are There" experiences are three-dimensionally recreated historic photographs that include trained first-person interpreters who interact with visitors and elicit personal connections to the past, allowing visitors to step through-and into-the image to become part of that history. Three of these are currently available (You Are There 1945: Hoosier Home Front, You Are There 1924: Tool Guys and Tin Lizzies and You Are There 1914: The Violin Maker Upstairs).
- Destination Indiana is a facilitated, interactive opportunity for visitors to "travel through time" using innovative digital technology, touch screens and immersive displays of historic images and documents to explore and understand the story of Indiana as a place. In Destination Indiana, there is a specific "journey" (a grouping of 10-12 images) for Kosciusko County.
- The Fortune History Lab is a hands-on demonstration lab that allows visitors to learn and participate in conservation and preservation activities. Within that space, INvestigation Stations provide a series of activity areas for visitors to engage in the process of "doing" history as they learn how to analyze historic documents, research their family tree, search for clues in historic photographs and explore careers in history.
- The Cole Porter Room is an intimate multimedia space with a performer/facilitator and original materials dedicated to the interpretation of Cole Porter's life and work.
The Indiana Experience is available Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and cost is typically $7 for adults, $6.50 for seniors and $5 for youth (ages five to 17). IHS members and children younger than 5 years old receive free admission, and Indiana Experience guests receive complimentary parking in the History Center's lot.[[In-content Ad]]To take advantage of this offer, visitors can present a form of identification listing their city or county at the History Center's Welcome Center. For more information on this promotional program, the Indiana Experience, or other programs of the IHS, call 317-232-1882 or visit the IHS's new website at www.indianahistory.org
