🎉Now Boarding!🎉 To celebrate and showcase the history and importance of interurbans in Indiana, Hoosier Heartland Trolley Co. is proud to partner with the Indiana Historical Society, nationally-renowned scholars and regional electric railway preservation partners to present: The Electric Railway: Indiana’s Interurbans, now open at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center in Downtownn Indianapolis! ⚡️Indiana is as central to the history of the interurban as the interurban is central to the history of Indiana, as interurbans provided many Hoosiers with transportation across the state and changed the Indiana landscape. With more than 1,800 miles of interurban rail lines, the state was second only to Ohio in rail mileage and produced many of the industry’s leaders such as Charles L. Henry, Arthur W. Brady and Hugh McGowan. 🚃 In this exhibit, there are several interactive spaces, including a room dressed as the interior of a rural interurban station from the early 20th century with text and hands-on discovery. There is also a re-created interurban car, where guests can "ride the interurban,” which involves a multi-sensory experience and an immersive video presentation (filmed inside our Union Traction interurban No. 429!). This virtual experience was supported by our talented staff and friends at the Illinois Railway Museum. Artifacts from the Hoosier Heartland collection are also on display! We'd like to extend our appreciation to our friends Tom and Sue Hoback and the Ayres Foundation, Inc. 🎟️ Now open through April 2026 - Get Tickets! https://indianahistory.org/events/the-electric-railway-indianas-interurbans/ (fb)
