Indiana Pioneers Event at the Indiana Historical Society
The Indiana Historical Society, where our collection of historical works is housed, hosted an event inviting out the Society of Indiana Pioneers for a Summer 2024 Hoosier Heritage Pilgrimage. At this event, the Indiana Pioneers went through a variety of stations to get a behind the scenes look of much of Indiana’s history. We, The Remnant Trust, had the privilege of being one of the stations on display, allowing attendees to handle and hold some of the books and documents from our historic collection. This included works such as the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, and so on.
