Indiana History Center - Headquartes Of The Indiana Historical Society
The Indiana Historical Society maintains changing exhibits throughout the year. These temporary exhibitions reflect the rich culture of the Hoosier State by showing photos, music, and other materials of Indiana history. In addition to the current exhibits you may visit the William Henry Smith Memorial Library, the Basile History Market Gift Shop, Eli Lily Hall and the Cole Porter room. No admission is charged to visit the Indiana History Center.

The William Henry Smith Memorial Library has the largest collection of archival material about Indiana and the Old Northwest Territory. The Library includes 1.6 million photographs (25,000 digital), 14,000 pieces of sheet music, 3300 artifacts, and 5,000 manuscript collections.

The Indiana Historical Society makes educational materials and programs available for teachers, students, and genealogy. IHS also has small collections of materials available for use as traveling exhibits. These exhibitions may be borrowed by local historical societies, libraries, schools, and government agencies.

At the Indiana History Center are classrooms, a 290 seat theatre, an outdoor plaza, a boardroom, conference room, the Eli Lily Hall and the Stardust Terrace available for rental for use. These can be used for weddings, conferences, classes, and receptions.
