Museum and Cabin will be open Saturday 1-4pm. WWHS will have a display at the HEPL June 20 1-4pm for the local history fair.
Hamilton East Public Library will celebrate local history and the upcoming 250th anniversary of the nation at a history fair from 1 to 4 p.m. June 20 at the Noblesville Library.
The free, open-house-style event will bring together local history organizations, preservation groups and community partners from across Hamilton County.
Attendees can explore booths and speak with representatives from a variety of local organizations dedicated to preserving and sharing Hamilton County’s history. Attendees will receive a history passport at check-in and can collect stamps from participating booths throughout the fair. Completed passports will earn a prize and entry into a raffle drawing.
Jessica Layman, a local history and genealogy librarian at HEPL, said the event was inspired by the nation’s anniversary.
“Whether you’ve been a Hamilton County resident for generations or just moved here, sharing stories is how community gets built,” Layman stated. “Our local history organizations pride themselves on telling the stories and history of our Hamilton County community, and this event will be an amazing opportunity to learn more about what we have to offer.”
In addition to visiting exhibits, attendees can visit the Crossroads Discovery Center on the second floor of the library for demonstrations on how to research and share their family stories and personal histories.
At 2 p.m., local author and realtor Kurt Meyer will present the keynote program, “Story Telling: From Novels to Blogging to Social Media.” His presentation will explore how storytelling has evolved across different formats while remaining a way to connect communities and preserve local history.
“Story telling is the best way I know of to learn about history and the world around us,” Meyer stated. “Even the retelling of our own personal stories helps us better see ourselves honestly. I’ve enjoyed doing that as a newspaper columnist, a blogger and a social media content creator.”

We've added Lu Dog's Grilled Dogs to have food for purchase to make the event complete - Gourmet dogs, sides and drinks.
