The Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites system includes 11 historic sites across Indiana that share stories of the Underground Railroad, renowned artists, mansions, and Native American earthworks, and holds more than 500,000 objects related to the human experience, the natural world, and the Hoosier spirit. The flagship museum is constructed with Indiana limestone and sandstone and features sculptures representing each of the state’s 92 counties. The organization’s mission statement is: “We ignite wonder, inspire curiosity, reveal stories and create connections,” and it describes itself as a museum and historic site system rooted throughout Indiana to serve Hoosiers but made for everyone.
