Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana

The Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana is America's largest private statewide historic preservation organization. Founded by Indianapolis pharmaceutical executive Eli Lilly in 1960, the organization is a private non-governmental organization with nearly 11,000 members and an endowment of over $40-million.

The Foundation has staff housed in regional offices throughout the state of Indiana and owns two museum properties: the Morris-Butler House in Indianapolis and the Huddleston Farmhouse Inn Museum in Cambridge City, Indiana. Regional offices are located in South Bend, Gary, Wabash, Jeffersonville, Aurora, Evansville, Cambridge City and Terre Haute. Its state headquarters is at the J. Reid Williamson Center in Indianapolis. The Foundation's honorary board chair is Indiana Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard.One of Historic Landmarks' largest projects was the $30-million+ restoration of the West Baden Springs Hotel's exterior and public spaces. The Foundation helped lead the effort to bring riverboat gaming to Orange County, Indiana as a way to revitalize the French Lick Resort Casino and the West Baden Springs Hotel.
