John,



This week on Holcomb's One Indiana, Eric’s talking about a subject he loves….
Indiana’s history! 


Presidents’ Day was on Monday and, in honor of the historical holiday, Eric
wanted to share with you a few of his favorite historic sites throughout our
state -- many with connections to Indiana’s presidential history! Eric’s a
history buff and this list could’ve been much, much longer.


So here’s just a sampling of some great Hoosier history sites!
<[link removed]>
* Abe Lincoln’s Boyhood Home <[link removed]> (Spencer
County) - Kentucky may be the birthplace of Lincoln, and Illinois claims to be
the land of Lincoln, but Indiana is really the soul of Lincoln. His values were
shaped during the formative years he spent in Southern Indiana.
* Angel Mounds
<[link removed]> (Vanderburgh
and Warrick counties) - uncover Indiana’s Native American roots!
* Benjamin Harrison Home <[link removed]> (Marion County) - come take a
walk through the home of the 23rd president. You can even catch a play in the
candlelight theatre!
* Corydon <[link removed]> (Harrison County)
- the site of Indiana’s first capital, Indiana’s first constitutional
convention, and the only Civil War battle on Indiana soil! 
* Gennett Records Walk of Fame
<[link removed]> (Wayne County) -
come and see the studio that recorded Louis Armstrong, Hoagy Carmichael, and
other music greats!
* George Rogers Clark Memorial <[link removed]> (Knox
County) - relive the battle that gave America control of the frontier in 1779
and made George Rogers Clark into a Hoosier legend!
* Levi Coffin House <[link removed]> (Wayne County) - a
registered National Historic Landmark, the Levi Coffin House was “Grand Central
Station” on the Underground Railroad!
* New Harmony <[link removed]> (Posey County) - the most
beautiful gardens in Indiana. You won’t want to miss out! 
* Tippecanoe Battlefield
<[link removed]>
(Tippecanoe County) - you can take a hike through the battlefield where William
Henry Harrison and Tecumseh met in 1811.
* Vincennes and Grouseland <[link removed]> (Knox
County) - William Henry Harrison’s home when he was governor of Indiana, this
historic mansion contains memorabilia from his first campaign and much more.
