Update from the Indiana Historical Society (March 16, 2020)

The Indiana Historical Society is committed to doing our part as we address the ramifications of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).  Our top priority is the health and safety of our community, guests, volunteers and staff members.

Based on the order by the Indiana Governor’s office and the Indiana State Department of Health, we will close the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center to the public, including all rental and public events, through April 8. We will continue to evaluate the situation on an ongoing basis, and every attempt will be made to reschedule events for a later date.

Even though the William Henry Smith Memorial Library will be closed for in-person visits, the Archives and Library staff are still available to assist the public with remote and online requests.

Our leadership team continues to monitor updates from the Marion County Public Health Department, State of Indiana Department of Health, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to aid our decisions.

To provide the most up-to-date information on COVID-19, here are a few links to resources that might be useful:

Additional updates will be posted here as needed. If you have already purchased tickets to an upcoming event, please contact us by email at welcome@indianahistory.org or by phone at (317) 232-1882. You can also use this email and phone number with additional questions or concerns.

We appreciate your understanding during these unusual circumstances, and we look forward to seeing you soon.
