2020 Citizenship Art Gallery

This Glorious Past
Louis Levey built the Levey Mansion in 1905 and located it in the distinctive Meridian corridor during Indiana’s cultural golden era, which lasted from the early 19th century and into the early 20th.
Society of Sagamores

Indiana Invests in National Treasures
Sagamore is honored to host an exhibit of historic, rare books that contributed to the shaping of the American idea through the ages. From a first edition of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense to The Federalist (1788) to the works of Thomas Hobbes, Machiavelli and St. Augustine, this exhibit from the Remnant Trust brings history to life through the pages of original, first edition and rare manuscripts.
The Duties and Privileges of Citizenship
It seems fitting for a group such as ours to meet this evening in the First Amendment Room of the National Press Club. Two years after the creation of the U.S. Constitution, James Madison led the original U.S. Congress in crafting the First Amendment. They met in New York City beginning on March 4, 1789, to draft and approve what has become our Bill of Rights.
