This is the Pulaski County Historical Society in Indiana. We are a very small organization in a pretty small county, and a not-so-large state, and we’re starting at the very beginning.

Well, not at the VERY beginning, but at the beginning of what we know to be indigenous peoples who lived on this land.

The pattern of human history on the North American continent can be traced through the ice ages. This particular piece of our history will start with the ice ages and end with the beginning of European occupation of the continent. That will be Part 2.

This is “history light.” If you see something that interests you, we hope you will take the time to explore further in another venue.
