A big upgrade is coming for Angel Mounds in Warrick County. According to a press release, Angel Mounds State Historic Site will undergo a two-year $6.5 million transformation to better share the story of the Native American people. Officials say the interpretive center will be closed until October of 2024 while they put in a new experience that focuses on the lives of the Native American people who lived on the land that is now the historic site. The project is being planned in collaboration with researchers and historians from today’s Native American nations and the Mathers Museum of World Cultures at Indiana University. They say during renovations, the outdoor space will remain open to the public at a reduced cost of $5 for adults, $4 for seniors and $3 for youth (ages 3-17), and Angel Mounds staff plans to offer more outdoor programming during the revamping of the site. $4 million in funding came from the state of Indiana and another $2.5 million grant from Lilly Endowment, according to a release.
