To celebrate and showcase the history and importance of interurbans in Indiana our latest exhibit The Electric Railway: Indiana’s Interurbans will open on March 15 2025 at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center.


Indiana is as central to the history of the interurban as the interurban is central to the history of Indiana as interurbans provided many Hoosiers with transportation across the state and changed the Indiana landscape. With more than 1800 miles of interurban rail lines the state was second only to Ohio in rail mileage and produced many of the industry’s leaders such as Charles L. Henry Arthur W. Brady and Hugh McGowan.


In this exhibit there will be several interactive spaces including a room dressed as the interior of a rural interurban station from the early 20th century with text and hands-on discovery. There will also be a re-created interurban car where guests will “ride the interurban” which involves a multi-sensory experience and an immersive video presentation.
