On this day in Indiana history, Madison was incorporated as a town.
Perched along the Ohio River, Madison quickly grew into one of the state’s busiest early ports. Today, it’s known for having one of the largest contiguous National Historic Landmark districts in the country.

Wishing everyone a happy and sweet Passover!
Chag Sameyach from the Indiana Jewish Historical Society! Circa the late 1940s in Indianapolis. Harry and Sarah Smith are at the far end, and their children and grandchildren are all gathered around for Pesach!
