This is the Indiana State Museum. I walked by it on my way to a journalism conference today. The building was built entirely of local materials – including limestone, sandstone, steel, brick and glass. Each of the state’s 92 counties are represented by icons on the exterior walls.

But I went to a one-day journalism conference and said about three things. Also, I shivered a bit, because it was cold. Maybe I should have just gone to the museum.
