INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) invites guests to celebrate the contributions of Hoosier women — both past and present — with its new exhibit, “Be Heard: Women’s Voices in Indiana.” The exhibit is now on display through April 18 at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, located at 450 W. Ohio St.
“Be Heard: Women’s Voices in Indiana” features the stories of women in the state over time, from Civil War nurse Lovina Streight and architect Avriel Shull to Roselyn Richardson, an active participant in the fight to desegregate Indianapolis Schools, and Chief Frances Dunnagan of the Miami Nation of Indians of Indiana.
Guests can tour the exhibit in the Rosemary McKee Lanham Gallery on the fourth floor of the History Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays. “Be Heard: Women’s Voices in Indiana” is included with admission to the Indiana Experience, which is $13 for adults, $12 for seniors and $5 for children (ages 5 to 17). IHS members and children younger than five receive free admission.
