How Do I Count? U.S. Census (Postponed)

The Indiana Historical Society will postpone all on-site special events and programs, including group tours, until the end of April. We will continue to evaluate the situation on an ongoing basis. Every attempt will be made to reschedule events for a later date.

Indiana has been counting its citizens since we became a state in 1816. Dig into our collections and meet local experts to explore how you are counted during our four-part series.

In the second segment of the series, we’ll explore the U.S. Census and how it affects our political representation, government funds and genealogy research. Learn how the census has changed over time, ask questions of a specialist, and then fill out the 2020 census online.

$5; free for members and students. Includes light refreshments.
