COLUMBUS, Ind. - The Bartholomew County Historical Society invites you to attend the second Evelyn Seward Speaker Series event of 2026 on Thursday, June 18, when County Historian Dr. Tami Stone Iorio presents "Bartholomew County on the Map: 1776-2026."

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, Dr. Iorio will lead attendees on a journey through Bartholomew County’s history guided by eleven maps from 1776 to the present.

Bartholomew County on the Map: 1776-2026 will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Helen Haddad Hall, 315 Franklin St., in Columbus. Admission is free thanks to funding provided by the Evelyn Seward Speaker Series Endowment.
