Rearview Mirrors: An Oral Archive DVD

Record-keeping often is viewed as books and paperwork in managed archives. But RearView Mirrors animates the library, providing opportunities to videotape interviews and capture public interaction with people who lived in special times or served in great wars. From life in a rural community to war veterans who share memories of challenging days during military service, RearView Mirrors provides both small and large forums to such exchanges. Thanks to Ivan Emry, who videotapes the segments and produces DVDs available for $20 donations at the Sheridan Historical Society museum. It enriches our history. Contact the Society for more information.

Limited Edition Coffee Mugs

Have a cup of coffee with the new Sheridan Historical Society logo! The Society recently adopted the new weathervane motif complete with horse in motion...just like the new progress being made to serve the stewardship mission with gusto!

Boxley Book - A Man with a Price on His Head

With a little poetic license, an anonymous author presupposed the drama and adventure experienced by abolitionist, George Boxley, as he fled his Virginia homeland and family. Eventually Boxley settled on a knoll to become the first settler in Adams Township, Indiana.

Postcards Capture Local Celebrations and Sites

A limited number of postcards are still available featuring Boxley Cabin and area events like the parade for the Fourth of July. One card captures the wild fox that lived in Veteran's Park and pranced through town. Those interested in purchasing should contact the Society at (317) 758-5054.

Photo Enlargements

Small inventories of enlarged photos are now available. These photos are suitable for framing. All feature various views of Boxley Cabin but the library will be expanded as demand increases. Prices vary due to enlargement costs. All photographs are copyrighted. Those interested in purchasing should contact the Society at (317) 758-5054.

Slate Pieces

When Caswell Boxley built his mansion on Pioneer Hill, it was believed that the use of gray slate on the roof was extended onto his father's original cabin. As part of the restoration of that cabin, the slate was removed and given to the Sheridan Historical Society. Those interested in obtaining slate for a donation may contact the Sheridan Historical Society at (317) 758-5054.
