State Historic Sites
The Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites is a statewide institution, with 11 historic sites spanning the state. The historic sites range from Angel Mounds in the far south, an archaeological site with surviving major earthwork mounds built by the Mississippian culture about 1000 CE; to author Gene Stratton-Porter's two homes in the north and east, where wildlife, native habitat and her early 20th-century prose are featured. Each site and its activities are highlighted on the website at www.indianamuseum.org.
