The Marshall County Museum invites visitors to explore the experiences of Latinos and their impact on Indiana with a traveling exhibit from the Indiana Historical Society (IHS). The exhibit, “Be Heard: Latino Experiences in Indiana,” will be open to the public from mid-September through mid- October. “Be Heard: Latino Experiences in Indiana” offers a glimpse into the stories of individuals of varying cultural backgrounds who recall what it has been like to be Latino in the Hoosier State throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The stories reflect on the Latinos’ cultures, as well as on their contributions to local communities or to the state of Indiana. Spanish translation will be available.
