Along the WabashMonday, March 7 at 8pm
At one time the lands around the Wabash River were America’s Western frontier, a world as wild as it was beautiful. Join us as we travel along the mighty Wabash to discover the inspiring stories of the people who lived alongside it.
Along the Wabash combines historical firsthand accounts, poetry, music, and narration with fictionalized scenes and archival visuals. Produced by WTIU for Indiana’s 2016 Bicentennial celebration, this historical documentary tells the story of the Indiana’s state river—following its course from the headwaters in Ohio to its end near New Harmony, Indiana.
Historians, museum staff, volunteers, and re-enactors participated in creating this fascinating story, filmed in locations that include sites near Fort Wayne, Peru, Lafayette, Merom, and Vincennes.
Chapters include:
The Wabash-Erie Canal. Once the longest canal anywhere, it linked the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico—and connected Indiana to the rest of the world.
Tecumseh’s Confederacy. Indiana is named for the Native inhabitants of the area—the Miami, Potawatomie, Wea, Delaware,
Piankeshaw, and Shawnee. We meet Tecumseh, who built one of the largest Indian resistance movements.
Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. Foundress of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods in Terre Haute, she traveled from France to build a convent in the wilderness.
Lyles Station. The first African American settlement in Indiana, it’s still the only one in existence.
New Harmony, Indiana. The experimental utopian community whose members sought faith, friendship, and peace.
Plus, the sinking of the Juno at New Harmony, the musselers and “pollywoggers” who harvested pearls, and more.
Immerse yourself in the experience of the river as a source of history, imagination, and beauty—Along the Wabash.
