Traveling Exhibit About Indiana Auto Industry On Display At City Hall
Staff Report
WARSAW – Auto Indiana, a traveling exhibit, is being featured at Warsaw City Hall beginning Monday, Sept. 19.
The display on the first floor of City Hall is a cooperative effort of the Kosciusko County Historical Society, the City and Warsaw Community Schools and is open to the public at 102 S. Buffalo Street.
Auto Indiana explores the mark Indiana’s inventors and innovators such as Elwood Haynes and Ralph Teetor and automakers such as Studebaker and Duesenberg left on the industry—and vice versa.
The exhibit also illuminates ties between automobiles and the development of many other economic opportunities for the “Crossroads of America,” such as the iron, steel and glass businesses.
In addition, it explores how the automobile became part of the American Dream and popular culture, from movies to making personal memories.
The exhibit also allows guests to gaze down the road ahead for Hoosiers, from the environmental impact of automobiles to a look at manufacturing today.
Auto Indiana is made possible by Kroger.
The display will continue until early October.
