A Hamilton County native, Norell (born Norman Levinson) was one of the nation’s leading fashion designers during the post-World War II period.
The dedication of the new historical marker will take place at 4:15 p.m. on April 20 along 8th Street between Cherry Street and Maple Avenue in Noblesville.
Due to COVID-19, this program is not open to the public, but will be livestreamed through the Hamilton County Historical Society’s Facebook page at facebook.com/hamiltoncountyhistory for all those interested. A larger public program will take place later this year to commemorate Norell and the historical marker. Follow along on Twitter for details on that program this summer.
The Indiana Historical Bureau, a division of the Indiana State Library, oversees the state historical marker program. State historical markers commemorate significant individuals, organizations, places, and events in Indiana history.
