Volunteer at the Monroe County Fair

Save to Favorites

An exhibit dedicated to Indiana’s automotive and racing heritage is coming to Hoosier communities across the state. Indiana Historical Society is proud to present History on Wheels, a 53-foot double-expandable semi-trailer and state-of-the-art traveling exhibit that will visit the Monroe County Fair, July 2nd-7th

The custom trailer housing the exhibition Auto Indiana will expand to nearly 1,000 square feet of indoor space. Inside the mobile museum, guests will take a ride through the state’s far-reaching and personal connections to the auto industry.

The exhibit touches on the history of more than 100 Indiana automakers and manufacturers, such as Cord, Duesenberg and Studebaker. It also delves into the lives of Hoosier innovators and inventors, such as Carl Fisher, Elwood Haynes and Ralph Teetor.

In one section of the exhibit, guests of all ages can explore under the hood of a car modeled after a 1914 Marmon Touring Car. In addition, children can climb into the driver’s seat of a mini IndyCar and imagine what it would be like to cross the famed Yard of Bricks.

Indiana Historical Society is looking for volunteers to assist with crowd flow and distributing marketing collateral. There are two shifts-4pm-7:30pm and 7pm-10:30pm July 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th.
