Elkhart Co. Special Exhibit: “Who is a Hoosier”

Event Hosted By: Ruthmere Museum

Event Time: Regular Visitor Hours

Ruthmere is hosting a special traveling exhibit from the Indiana Historical Society: "Who is a Hoosier?" The makeup of Indiana's communities has changed over time, molded by the contributions of a wide range of ethnic groups. Many people ask "What is a Hoosier?" and Indiana strives to provide a more inclusive answer.

In this traveling exhibit, maps and informational graphics highlight the statistical impact of changing ethnic groups, while photographs from various IHS collections and institutions across the state bring to life the personal stories of immigration.

Admission to this exhibit is included with admission to the Havilah Beardsley House tour.
