Indiana Historical Society, Indianapolis

It was a lovely museum, and a phenomenal gift shop. I truly enjoyed learning about how they repair historic books, and photographs. They have a fantastic section of historical books/library. I felt as though it was more of a general museum, and not really focused on the history of Indiana? Since it is listed as the Indiana Historical Society/Museum I expected to learn more of Indiana’s history? I actually learned much more about Indiana, on my free tour at the State House nearby. Museum has a nice entrance to the canal, and I appreciated free parking with admission to the museum.

The Christmas tree festival is one of my kids favorite stops during the holiday season. The pickle search and finding our favorite tree can only be topped by the delicious cookies we get at the Cafe. Highly recommend. You can also visit the history exhibits which are excellently done.
