These are dismal days for historians. History erased and thwarted at every turn by the feds, and today I learned that the respected Indiana Historical Society has just done a mass firing of their Education and Engagement and Exhibits staff.

Come to the CCC Open House at Pokagon State Park July 25 at 2pm at the Nature Center. While they have a really nice comprehensive permanent display there, for the Open House they bring out all the wonderful artifacts and photos of the time the CCC was working (1934-41) to make the park what it is today. I'll be co-presenting a program with naturalist Aimee Wentworth. Free refreshments, too!
