Hoosiers and the Arts
Tour Description
A place is nothing without its culture, and that holds true especially in Indiana. Hoosiers like Gene-Stratton Porter and James Whitcomb Riley have had huge influences on their respective fields. Indiana Avenue was a central hub for jazz in Indianapolis and the state as a whole. Much of “Ben-Hur” was written by General Lew Wallace in his Crawfordsville home. The link between Indiana and the arts is undeniable.
