Ready to take a tour? Here's what you need to know! 

• Public tours happen at a specific time on specific days. You can find the schedule of all our tours on the Calendar of Events page.  

• To join a tour, you do not need a reservation.  

• Meet at the site you are touring a few minutes before the tour begins.  You'll be greeted by a guide and an HMI staff person who will collect the fee for the tour.  

• Public tours are either $10 or $15 for adults of all ages, depending on the site.  HMI members, students, and kids are always FREE.  We accept cash and debit/credit cards.

• All tours are guided tours.  

• A tour typically lasts approximately 45-60 minutes.

• The sites are not open beyond the tour time unless there is a special open house or other event.  

• Only the Costigan House requires stairs as part of the tour. Other sites have stairs, but they are not required as part of the tour. 

• Groups of 8 or more should schedule a group tour by calling the HMI Office at 812-265-2967. 

• If you can't make a tour, please check out our virtual tour page to explore the sites from home.
