Tinkering With Time

| Description: | It all started when his wife started bringing home rummage sale “treasures” by the truckload. Today, Ernie Taylor’s front lawn holds the Taylor Old Farm Museum where history is on display. From the chestnut log cabin and the collection of old farm implements to the dinosaur sculptures he’s crafted from scraps of car frames, dish blades, and other odds and ends, Taylor’s little spot north of Zionsville has become a monument to the way things were. |

The Soul and Funk of Indianapolis
| Watch This Segment Online. |
| Description: | Canal fever was an epidemic that shaped much of Indiana’s early history. Poor roads throughout the state along with the celebrated completion of Ft. Wayne’s canal pushed other Hoosiers to dig in on their canal projects. The tide changed in 1839 when financial panic and depression forced the state legislature to announce that it could not pay interest on the bonds it sold to finance canal construction. With such unfinished projects scattered around the state, “caution became the watch bird” that led to the 1851 Indiana constitution prohibiting the state from borrowing money. |

Still Sweet (and a Secret) After All These Years
| Watch This Segment Online. |
| Description: | Indianapolis’ jazz history may be renowned, but the city’s working class music scene of the 1960s and ‘70s was home to legendary musicians and performers. Lester Johnson, Dick Pierson, and James Bull reminisce about their Indianapolis performances through the Indiana Historical Society’s exhibit Soul and Funk: The Naptown Sound. Playing the same clubs for months on end - rather than the one night stands of bands today - helped develop the old school, funky sound that’s still relevant and respected today. |
