Conner Prairie, cont.
The development of the Conner Prairie program was a program that came out of Earlham College,” said Bolling, who was Earlham president from 1958 to 1973. “It did not come out of (the museum’s) neighbors in Hamilton County or Fishers. It came out of the heads of people I worked with.
That is what Landrum Bolling said in a public meeting held in Richmond, Indiana yesterday, at least that is what the Pal-Item reported here. The former Earlham College President, and former President of the Lilly Foundation spoke in the public session for 30 minutes (over the 3 minute limitation) before many Wayne County residents and some folks from Hamilton County.
The article from the Pal-item summarizes both the Attorney General’s plan for the living history museum as well as Earlham’s plan. Earlham is the trustee for the asset, and The AG (Steve Carter) still has not agreed to meet with Earlham to discuss this issue, preferring instead to hold public sessions on his plan. The Pal-Item continues to impress with its coverage of this issue.
