Great Hoosiers in Sculpture
State Capitol Buildings are unique places that house the past, present and future. The successes and failures of the people that have walked the halls through the years can sometimes be forgotten, but they played an integral part in who we are today as a state and society. In an effort to remember and appreciate, we have gathered the stories behind the people immortalized in the art standing in the State House. We begin with the busts that decorate the alcoves on three of the four floors around the rotunda. This is information that will be added to and changed as others emerge as historical figures in Indiana history.
Thanks to Samantha Norling, who while serving as an intern with the Statehouse Tour Office for her graduate work in the Public History Department at IUPUI, did the research and compilation of information on Indiana's historic Rotunda sculptures.
