The Columbus Area Arts Council is inviting you to “National Historic Landmarks of Columbus,” a panel discussion on Thursday, July 20th at 7 p.m. in the Bartholomew County Public Library Gallery and Red Room. Tricia Gilson, archivist and curator at the Columbus Indiana Architectural Archives, is set to moderate the discussion between local architect Louis Joyner and Ball State University architectural historian Kristin Barry.

Gilson, Joyner, and Barry will discuss how and why seven modern buildings in Columbus have been designated National Historic Landmarks. This free program has been made possible through a Historic Preservation Education Grant from Indiana Humanities, Indiana Landmarks, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
