The Statehouse Story

Want to share the history of Indiana government's home with your students, but a field trip isn't an option? Visit the State Department of Administration's website for the "State House Story" which inlcudes historic images of the journey to today's statehouse.

Including architecture in the classroom can be tangible connection for students, especially if the building or landmark is still standing. Visit "Built in America: Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record/Historic American Landscapes Survey, 1933-Present" for images, architectural drawings, and other historical documentations of structures in Indiana.
