Research

We encourage you to stop by the museum during open hours to use the resources in the collection to research your questions.

We are also happy to accept your research questions by email or voicemail (317-718-6158), however, due to the limited staffing resources, we may not be able to guarantee research time spent or results. Please allow several days for proper handling of your question.
