Traditions and Progress - Italians in Northern Indiana
The area Italian Clubs have partnered with the History Museum of South Bend, Indiana to document and display local Italian American history.

A viewing party was held for the Italian American Community on November 24, 2024 which attracted over 200 visitors. After the display closes, much of the information will be available on this site.
A talk about the exhibit by Italian Club Members who created the exhibit will be on March 5, 2025 at the History Museum at 1:30 pm. Reservations required by March 3 by contacting the Museum at (574) 235-9664
