To celebrate and showcase the history and importance of interurbans in Indiana, the Indiana Historical Society's latest exhibit, "The Electric Railway: Indiana’s Interurbans," is now open at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center. Indiana is as central to the history of the interurban as the interurban is central to the history of Indiana, as interurbans provided many Hoosiers with transportation across the state and changed the Indiana landscape. With more than 1,800 miles of interurban rail lines, the state was second only to Ohio in rail mileage and produced many of the industry’s leaders such as Charles L. Henry, Arthur W. Brady and Hugh McGowan.
