Upcoming Community Anniversaries
in Historic Southern Indiana
As we approach the 200th birthday of the State of Indiana in 2016, we also need to be aware of the many milestones that we shall be passing over the next 10 years. After all, when Indiana became a state, its organized territory was pretty much limited to the region that we call Historic Southern Indiana!
If your community has not begun thinking about planning a local celebration, now is the time to begin doing so. We can assist you. Feel free to contact our office.
