Historical Note
The Society of Indiana Pioneers was established on September 15, 1916. The society
was to be composed of descendants of the original pioneer families that settled in
Indiana. The purpose of the society was to “honor the memory and the work of the
pioneers who opened Indiana to civilization”. The society intended to accomplish this
purpose by encouraging historical research, advocating for the interpretation and
education of state and local history, working with other historical societies, and helping
to make information regarding the history of the state of Indiana available to citizens.
The group’s efforts in this regard acted as a catalyst to help create the Indiana History
Conference.
