CENTER FOR HISTORY WILL

HOST IHS’s TRAVELING

EXHIBIT: North Manchester Center for History will host Faces in the Crowd: Indiana and the Political Process, an Indiana Historical Society (IHS) traveling exhibit that shows how Indiana has entertained debates on issues and candidates throughout the state’s history. From March 15April 10, the exhibit will be on display at the museum located in downtown North Manchester. Faces in the Crowd is not the story of the candidates behind the microphone, but of the individual citizens in the crowd—each of whom play a crucial role in ensuring the electoral process works.
