ANNUAL REPORT
2011–2012
UNCOVER INDIANA’S SECRETS
FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear State Museum & Historic Sites Supporter: It’s been three years since Governor Daniels asked me to be the Interim President & CEO of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. My plan was to do it for no more than a year. However, I fell in love with the place and the board removed the “interim” part of the title after the first year. So, why fall in love with a museum and some historic sites? First, they are true treasures. In addition, the staff is dedicated to the mission and opportunity it presents to discover, collect, preserve, interpret and exhibit what is truly authentic and wondrous about Indiana. The museum and sites are at the forefront of providing Indiana’s citizens and visitors with an appreciation for who we are, what we have done and what the future holds, and, in the process, capturing and conveying what it means to be a Hoosier. Finally, we’ve made significant progress recently by changing the governance of the organization so that it is more independent, and recruiting an engaged statewide board of directors that has, in turn, stabilized the financial position of the museum and sites. It’s fun when a strategy like this comes together and works. The museum is continuing to transform itself with a set of ambitious projects planned for the period leading up to the State’s Bicentennial in 2016. We’ve expanded our capabilities to conceive and produce our own first-rate exhibitions as well as host major traveling shows (and we are developing our own traveling exhibition program). We have an impressive line-up to present. In 2012 and 2013 alone, visitors will experience Eternal James Dean;

The Lincolns: Five Generations of an American Family; Star Wars®: Where Science Meets Imagination; and Indiana’s Ice Age Giants: The Mystery of Mammoths and Mastodons. Our core exhibitions featuring Indiana’s natural and cultural history will be redesigned and updated, including iconic experiences that will attract repeat visits. We also are adding to our existing “Centers of Excellence” within the permanent collection: Ice Age paleontology, Lincoln, quilts, Indiana art, and Indiana science and industry, while developing other centers such as archaeology, and showcasing specialized collections such as Major Taylor and New Harmony’s Golden Troupe. We want to make our exhibitions and collections more accessible to all regions of the state through our network of historic sites and by digitizing our collections so that anyone with access to a computer can acquaint themselves with Indiana’s heritage. We’re expanding our K-12 and public programming statewide as well, building on our multidisciplinary strengths and adding new science, technology, engineering and math initiatives. Finally, we need to strengthen our financial base with enough working capital to overcome the fundamental challenge of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites of not having an endowment like other similar institutions. This is an ambitious but most important agenda that involves many partners. I hope you’ll want to continue to be a part of the continued development of this unique treasure that is so important to the understanding of Indiana and what it means to be a Hoosier. Sincerely,
Thomas A. King President & CEO

RESTORING LANIER MANSION Exterior restoration of the Lanier Mansion is complete! This massive project returned the mansion to its original 1850 appearance. COMMUNITY HOUSE NO. 2 After an $870,000 investment from
the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, Community House No. 2, the 190-year-old, three-story dormitory at Historic New Harmony, underwent a major rehabilitation. The work on Community House No. 2 was inspired by its many previous and current functions.
GOOD STEWARDSHIP PAYS BIG REWARDS NINE DECADES AFTER artist Theodore Clement Steele’s death, one of his previously unknown treasures has been uncovered from deep in the heart of our collection. As Chicago conservator Barry Bauman cleaned Steele’s 1887 An Old Garden, he carefully removed the tacks and painstakingly peeled back the canvas. What he saw was extraordinary — a second painting pulled taut over the same stretcher. Concealed since at least 1926, the painting was cracked and yellowed with age (photo at right). Cleaning uncovered a vibrant landscape and an 1890 date. Elements echo similar subjects Steele captured near Indianapolis and on sojourns to Vernon, Yountsville, Spencer and Metamora. Never before had such a discovery happened in our collection, and similar tales are rarities in the art world. Since the treasure’s public unveiling at the T.C. Steele State Historic Site in May, scholars have been trying to understand why Steele covered a newer painting with an older work, and attempting to pinpoint the location (and the identity of the female figure). 4
The discovery may have been a surprise, but it was no accident, considering the conscientious stewardship that is our standard practice. While the public knows that we collect and exhibit, few people recognize the amount of work involved in caring for the treasures entrusted to us. Since 2005, we have secured conservation for 38 Steele paintings, in addition to works by other artists in the collection. Our continued stewardship will ensure that future generations enjoy and benefit from this remarkable collection.
IMMERSIVE, ENGAGING, AUTHENTIC LEARNING AT ITS BEST LEARNING SHOULDN’T STOP when students are out of school. By providing educational opportunities for schoolage audiences, the museum ensures that learning continues throughout the year. Each year, we offer seven weeklong summer day camps for children ages 7 through 14. The topics reflect the museum’s diverse resources, with hands-on experiences alongside professionals. In Paleontology II, students search for evidence of rhinos, camels and other unique creatures by working with actual materials from the museum’s Pipe Creek Junior site. In History Alive!, campers experience Hoosier life in the 19th and early

20th centuries, as they pack their treasures for a wagon journey west to Indiana and interact with Civil War soldiers and Abraham Lincoln. The new Indiana Artists Camp takes campers behind the scenes to tour our fine arts collection, and provides the opportunity to sketch, sculpt, weave and quilt. To fulfill the museum’s promise to provide learning opportunities for all youth, we work with community partners to offer underserved students full scholarships through funding provided by the Summer Youth Program Fund. This is important as research shows that low-income youth are more vulnerable to summer learning lo loss. oss. In a 2011 survey of campers and their parents, 98 percent of respondents said they had fun, with 97 percent rating the educational value as “good” or “excellent,” and the same number saying they would send their children to the museum’s camps again. As many school districts move toward the balanced calendar school year, the museum is adjusting the camp schedule and piloting Museum Adventure Camps during 2013 school breaks.

CURATORIAL OUTREACH Director of Archaeology Michele Greenan looks at a jar of snakes in the “Museum” room at the Workingmen’s Institute (WMI) in New Harmony where she has just replaced their old liquid solution with new and better preservatives.
As the last of the “old” Indiana natural history collections to be cared for with modern standards, the WMI collection is a top priority in the museum’s statewide curatorial outreach to assist institutions with natural history collections.
BUILDING FRED! The museum’s mount fabricator Mike Smith, pictured below right, has put more than 800 hours into building Fred the mastodon’s mount. Excluding the feet, about 75 percent of the finished mount will be real bones as opposed to casts.
BUY-A-BONE The Buy-A-Bone program allows people to “purchase” a mastodon bone to help raise the $86,800 to build Fred’s mount. This mount will be featured in Indiana’s Ice Age Giants: The Mystery of Mammoths and Mastodons, opening in 2013.
ENHANCING OUR EXCELLENCE IN ICE AGE PALEONTOLOGY THE INDIANA STATE MUSEUM has earned a longstanding reputation for excellence in paleontology surrounding Indiana’s Ice Age. Our fieldwork dates back to 1933, but our team has excavated and salvaged mastodons and mammoths (along with plants and animals, and associated radiocarbon dates) from 17 Indiana sites since 1980. Our well-documented collection of paleontological treasures is a key component of a multi-institutional collaboration, led by the Illinois State Museum’s Dr. Chris Widga and Dr. Jeffrey Saunders, and the University of Arizona’s Dr. Greg Hodgins. Their research focuses on determining the timing and ecology of late Ice Age mammoth and mastodon extinctions. The collection’s finest specimen enters the public spotlight in an exhibition that will open in November 2013. The bones of “Fred,” an American mastodon named for the grandfather of finder Dan Buesching, are being assembled into a fully-mounted skeleton. Fred’s prominence at the museum will symbolize our expertise with Ice Age paleontology. 6
Another example is the ongoing work at Crawford County’s Megenity Cave, home to one of the longest sequences of fossil bones in Indiana, spanning some 100,000 years. The millions of bones and teeth provide a vivid tale of Ice Age life, starring large numbers of pig-like animals, dire wolves and armadillos. Much of our work focuses on more recent history, such as curatorial outreach visits to the Workingmen’s Institute at New Harmony, mony, ny, where a large late late-19th 19th cen century na natural tural history collection is housed. sed d. Our team has already adyy cleaned, identifi tified e and catalogued loggued more than 25 25,000 5,000 specimens. cimens.
CORN WAS FIRST cultivated 10,000 years ago in Central America, and the idea for a major exhibition about one of Indiana’s agricultural treasures sprouted soon after our new building opened. Conceptual planning focused on an exhibit that would be a strong draw for attendees of the annual national FFA convention, and that could subsequently travel to other museums. Noting the museum’s lack of corn-related resources, the staff began to gather artifacts. The concept grew to cover corn’s tale through the lenses of both history and science. After evaluation, we determined that the greatest interest was in specific elements of the corn story. That led to a design focused on corn as the greatest plant breeding achievement of all time, built upon a chronology highlighting six major milestones in the history of corn from its initial domestication; through increases in diversity, yield and vigor; to genetics and corn’s expanding uses. How could we draw audiences into an exhibition about an agricultural subject? The team chose a variety of interactive experiences, from multiple audio and video components, to custom touchscreen computer interactives, to immersive environments and touchable specimens. Working with universities, companies and other experts to develop content and to obtain samples of corn and products, the museum staff executed the design and fabrication of the exhibition.
JIM IRSAY’S CHAOS Chaos is a Friend of Mine: Cultural Icons from the Jim Irsay Collection opened and attracted national attention. ESPN’s Hannah Storm interviewed Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay for her Face to Face show which aired on Jan. 31, 2012.
THE IMPACT OF CORN ON LIFE AS WE KNOW IT Evaluation of the new exhibit is ongoing, and will be used to shape the smaller traveling exhibition, which will enhance the museum’s national reputation while generating revenue to offset development costs.

greeted visitors, while dreaming of hosting larger groups and more people. Through a partnership with the museum and a $300,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (the culmination of four years of work), that dream is taking shape. With the $3.2 million goal and $1.9 million already in hand, we will make crucial repairs to the Coffin home, maintaining its historical integrity, and will transform an adjacent 1836 federalstyle home into a state-of-the-art Visitor Center. In addition to improved visitor amenities, the center will include interpretive exhibits that share the story of the Coffins, and meeting rooms large enough to accommodate student and community groups, transforming the Coffin home site into a cultural center for the entire Wayne County community. Our development staff has taken the lead role in managing the capital campaign and raising the remaining funds, partnering with the Levi Coffin House Association and local community, business and academic leaders. We expect to break ground in Fall 2013. In addition to enhancing a treasure of national significance, this work will demonstrate how we use our resources to support the cultural and economic climates of communities throughout the state.
OUTREACH AT VINCENNES The Knox County Community Foundation funded Comets, Quakes & Squirrels, an outreach program for schools, presented by Vincennes State Historic Sites. The Knox County Convention & Visitors Bureau funded a public version. Both focused on 1811’s “year of wonders” — comets, earthquakes and a mass squirrel migration.
T THE FAMILY MAN Every three years, E the Indiana State Museum organizes a major Lincoln exhibition, each ililluminating a differen ent facet of Abraham
Lincoln and his times. Over the past year, the museum has been preparing The Lincolns: Five Generations of an American Family focusing on the personal Lincoln as well as the subsequent generations. While the photographs and personal possessions of the Lincoln family within
the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection provide an exceptional foundation, we are looking to other institutions that hold important Lincoln collections for the loan of artifacts to help us tell this rich and complex story. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum,
Library of Congress, Chicago History Museum, National Park Service, Mary Todd Lincoln House, Lilly Library of Rare Books and Manuscripts (Indiana University), and the Indiana Historical Society are among our 13 lenders on this project.
MAKING LINCOLN’S LEGACY MORE ACCESSIBLE IN 2008, THE LINCOLN Financial Foundation decided to close its Lincoln Museum and find a new home for the collection Lincoln National Life Insurance had been assembling since 1928. The national treasure of 40,000 items from America’s most-loved president was little-known outside the academic community, and those who came to Fort Wayne saw but a fraction of its wonders. The Foundation entrusted the collection to the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites and the Allen County Public Library (ACPL), with support from the Indiana State Library, Indiana State Archives and the Indiana Historical Society. The museum and ACPL began the long process of digitizing all of the material and developing the lincolncollection.org website to make the entire collection accessible to everyone. Funded by the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust and the many donors to the Lincoln Campaign administered by the Friends of the Lincoln Collection, the site includes access points tailored to the needs of different audiences. By July 2012, more than half of the collection was online, with educational materials tied to state and national standards. The website also provides everything from an interactive
timeline, to a “Surprise Me!” tool that selects random treasures, to a Lincoln Kaleidoscope that spotlights unexpected connections. An Ask an Expert section connects visitors with Jane Gastineau at the ACPL and the museum’s Senior Curator of Cultural History, Dale Ogden. New materials are added every week, with more planned in conjunction with the museum’s February 2013 opening of The Lincolns: Five Generations of an American Family.

ABOVE After retiring, Dick Adkins (July 7, 1933 – Oct. 30, 2010) studied making stringed musical Instruments at Indiana University. He built this Hardanger fiddle, where a second set of strings provides an echo-like reflection of the main strings. His wife Dora drew the fiddle’s pen-and-ink rosing decoration. The ebony and ivory inlays came from the keys of an old piano being destroyed.
