On Saturday, July 22, join some famous figures as they travel through time to reenact when they each came to the Courthouse Square in Noblesville.
The Hamilton County Historical Society will play host to this event in partnership with the Hamilton County Bicentennial Commission, which is an extension of the Society and has been working all year long to provide events and promotions for the special Bicentennial year.
On July 22, come to the Noblesville Street Dance stage (on the corner of 9th and Logan streets) from 1 to 2:30 p.m. as four individuals performing as women’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony, abolitionist Frederick Douglass, President Harry S Truman, and President Teddy Roosevelt dramatize speeches they gave when each came to town. Afterwards, the performers will be available for Q&A and family-friendly activities near the Hamilton County Historical Society at the corner of 8th and Conner streets.
While you chat with these celebrities, check out the Historical Society’s free ice cream and cake social (while supplies last!) and a special indoor exhibit provided by the Indiana Historical Society (IHS) titled “Faces in the Crowd: Indiana and the Political Process.” This exhibit is not the story of the candidates behind the microphone, but of the individual citizens in the crowd – each of whom play a crucial role in ensuring the electoral process works. The IHS collections images that appear in the exhibit include some from right here in Noblesville.
Be sure to check out this great event during your experience at Noblesville Main Street’s Street Dance. This year the event is being held all day long from 1 to 11 p.m. as part of Hamilton County and Noblesville’s Bicentennial celebrations.
The Historical Society thanks all its sponsors, including Gaylor Electric, for their generous support.
