Symbolic of the many predominately African American settlements scattered throughout Indiana during the post Civil War years, Freetown Village is a living history museum featuring a variety of activities for all ages, including craft and heritage workshops, youth summer camp, touring performances, theatrical productions and various special events. The resident/actors of village are modeled after the approximately 3,000 men, women and children identified on the 1870 Indianapolis census.
