Experience Michiana - First Peoples, First Settlers

History comes to life on this week's Experience Michiana! In celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States, The History Museum is taking a look back at the people and stories that shaped our region.

The exhibit “First People, First Settlers: Indiana's Interwoven Roots” explores the early history of our area, from the Potawatomi and other Indigenous peoples to early settlers, trading posts, and the communities that began to develop here.

Featuring fascinating artifacts and stories, the exhibit offers a chance to discover the many interconnected roots of Indiana's history. The exhibit is open through January 3rd, so make plans to explore it and learn more about the history right here in our own backyard!
