Bicentennial Commission to Launch New Book on Dec. 10
The Hamilton County Bicentennial Commission has announced the release of “Celebrating Hamilton County, Indiana: 200 Years of Change,” the official commemorative book of Hamilton County’s 2023 bicentennial.
The public is invited to a holiday open house and book launch party on Dec. 10 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. at the Hamilton County Historical Society (810 Conner St., Noblesville). Meet the authors, enjoy refreshments and tour the museum. Limited quantities of the book will be available for purchase with cash.
Buyers who preordered and chose pick-up rather than delivery can get their books during the launch party. Books will also be available for pickup on Dec. 17 during regular business hours (12 p.m. – 5 p.m.). Call (317) 674- 3150 to make other arrangements if necessary. People who preordered the book and chose to have it shipped can expect their order to arrive in early December.
The glossy, 9-by-12-inch, full-color book features events and figures many people know and love, as well as never-before-published photographs, stories and oral histories. Read about Hamilton County’s earliest inhabitants and each of its nine townships.
Beginning on Monday, “Celebrating Hamilton County, Indiana: 200 Years of Change” will be available on Amazon and through MT Publishing Co. (mtpublishing.com). Visit the Bicentennial website for an updated list of local retail stores carrying the book in the coming weeks (hamcoturns200.com/our-book).
