MPL History Center - New Exhibit

Indiana Disasters, a Traveling Exhibit from the Indiana Historical Society: 
April 2-30, History Center Lobby at Marion Public Library

It is no secret that—in Indiana—extreme weather such as floods, tornadoes, blizzards and drought persist year to year. The way humans interact with their environment also leaves people vulnerable to disasters, such as ?res, crashes, spills and explosions. 

Historically, stories of these events have been passed down from generation to generation, including biological, violent and bizarre events such as epidemics, bombs and even squirrel migrations. 

In this traveling exhibit, guests will see photographs from various IHS collections and from institutions across the state, which capture these unforgettable Indiana catastrophes. In addition, newspaper headlines, illustrations and survivor accounts  show how Hoosiers have persevered in the face of disaster. Indiana Disasters is made possible by Kroger.
