From the collegiate level down to the elementary level, Indiana has a rich history in education. Across the state, Hoosiers have pursued information in numerous venues.\r\n\r\nThis tour highlights those locations throughout the state with ties to Indiana’s studies. From smaller sites like the Farmers Institute to larger sites like Franklin College and everywhere in between (even including an observatory!), An Education on Indiana Education will provide you with countless insights into the erudite actions of past and present Hoosiers. Discover Indiana invites you to take a journey across the 19th state and explore the history of Hoosiers learning from one another and teaching each other!\r\n\r\nPlease keep in mind that each tour is by no means a comprehensive list of sites in Indiana related to each theme. Please be respectful of private property lines when visiting each of these sites.</p>","postscript_text":"","tour_img":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/d748dd7575e8125b9401f3fe6826a5a0.jpg","items":[{"id":300,"title":"Carnegie Hall at Moore’s Hill College","latitude":39.1131247000000001889929990284144878387451171875,"longitude":-85.0925194999999945366653264500200748443603515625,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/d748dd7575e8125b9401f3fe6826a5a0.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/d748dd7575e8125b9401f3fe6826a5a0.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":"14687 Main Street, Moores Hill, IN 47032","custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":299,"title":"Borden Institute","latitude":38.4699786999999986392140272073447704315185546875,"longitude":-85.9467599999999976034814608283340930938720703125,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/a69338c5beb2d47d280d9041aa47d4a8.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/a69338c5beb2d47d280d9041aa47d4a8.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":"301 S West St, Borden, IN 47106","custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":344,"title":"Crispus Attucks High School","latitude":39.782924199999996517362887971103191375732421875,"longitude":-86.1698509999999942010617814958095550537109375,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/cc0488b731d93ded7784be598e2d0a3f.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/cc0488b731d93ded7784be598e2d0a3f.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":"1140 Dr Martin Luther King, Jr Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202","custom":{"subtitle":null,"text":null}},{"id":345,"title":"Bethel AME Church (Indianapolis)","latitude":39.77315469999999919537003734149038791656494140625,"longitude":-86.1658651000000048725269152782857418060302734375,"thumbnail":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/square_thumbnails/90d09476ca88cd11b1f0e403f51f3936.jpg","fullsize":"https://discoverindianahistory.org.curatescape7.reclaim.hosting/files/fullsize/90d09476ca88cd11b1f0e403f51f3936.jpg","subtitle":null,"address":"414 W.
