Welcome to Explore Indiana History!

 

 

I am Marcy. I live in Indiana with my two French Bulldogs, Napoleon and Hugh Hefner. We like to travel and see new things around the state of Indiana and the surrounding states if possible. You may think Indiana is all corn fields and farm boys (there is a lot of that, I'll agree) but when you look around there is so much more to offer. I am here to blog about all those little things you miss.
Not only do I plan to cover all 500+ historical markers that the Indiana Historical Bureau (http://www.in.gov/history/markers/3819.htm) has to offer but I plan on showing you art work, museums, and events and people that are history in the making.

For example, there are approximately 930 wind turbines in Indiana according to the Indiana Office of Energy Development (http://www.in.gov/oed/2413.htm). Energy technology is changing at an alarming rate! In fifty years wind farms could be replaced for a more efficient energy source. I want to help document the peaceful wooshing sound that the windmills make, how each propeller blade is around 143 feet in length and when all three blades spin it spans about a 1.5 miles radius!

 

So watch out Indiana! Join Hef and Napoleon  as they hit the road...preferably in a well air conditioned vehicle. Stay tuned!
