Hidden Histories of Hamilton County, Indiana: A Crossroads Discovery Center Activity Book

Crossroads Discovery Center Hidden Histories

The Crossroads Discovery Center brings storytelling and genealogy together. Since 1973, we have connected the people of Hamilton County, IN to their community and their personal histories. Our new coloring and activity book features six historical figures from Hamilton County, along with coloring pages, short biographies, word searches, mazes, and more, to make uncovering our history even more fun!

This activity book was inspired by The Ohio State University Health Sciences Library and designed and edited by the Hamilton East Public Library Marketing and Communications team. Original coloring illustrations were created by the talented medical illustrators at The Ohio State University Health Sciences Library’s Medical Visuals department. Biographies were carefully curated by the staff of the Crossroads Discovery Center.

Hamilton County has existed for over 200 years and has been home to many different people from all sorts of backgrounds. This book is a sampling of those individuals. More importantly, they contributed to the growth of the community and are people that today’s residents of Hamilton County can be proud of.

 

– David Heighway, Hamilton County Historian and History Education Coordinator at the CRDC

A downloadable version of the coloring book is available below, and there will be physical copies available in the Crossroads Discovery Center at Noblesville Library (while supplies last). Come get yours today!
