The capital of Indiana is Indianapolis and the State was admitted to the Union on: December 11, 1816. Feel free to add messages about this State's Traditions and Culture.
Indiana has a rich history of folklore and tradition. Folklore ranges from the ghosts and beasts of knox county to Johnny Appleseed. Some true local lore comes from the states famous college, Indiana University, home of the Hoosiers. A hoosier is loosely defined as an Indiana native.
I recommend reading some of the Knox County lore at https://rking.vinu.edu/folklore.htm
