I found an Indiana history gem for the classroom. Certain episodes of Across Indiana, WFYI's Emmy Award-wining television series, are available to watch online. You can visit the Across Indiana website to choose an episode or search the archive by topic. Most episodes produced during 2000-2008 are currently available. Note: Season 12 is labeled 1997, but includes mostly episodes from 2001.
