Celebrate America 250 in Southern Indiana
Each corner of the United States contains stories that helped shape our country into what it is today, and that includes Southern Indiana. Celebrate America 250 in SoIN, a place where history comes to life at every turn.

Stand at Falls of the Ohio State Park, where Meriwether Lewis and William Clark first met before launching their legendary expedition. Walk in the footsteps of courage at Town Clock Church (now Second Baptist Church), where congregation members demonstrated profound bravery to support the Underground Railroad network. From riverfront landmarks to nostalgic gems, SoIN blends centuries of history with experiences you can enjoy today.
