September 16, 2023 from 1:00 to 5:00 PM at Angel Mounds State Historic Site
The historic home of Angel Mound’s archaeologist Glenn Black will be temporarily vacant. Mike Linderman, Western Regional Director of State Historic Sites, Indiana State Museum, is offering us a chance to look inside the historic home. In addition to the home itself, the open house will feature enlarged photographs and displays highlighting the famous visitors to the home while Black lived there.
The house was built in 1937 by John and Lula Grimm. Black moved in on April of 1939 after IHS purchased the site and lived there until his death in 1964. This is the first time the home has ever been open to the public. It will be undergoing some restoration during this period. The home is on the National Register and is a contributing component to the overall National Historic Landmark status of the site.
