Lanier Days 2010 Photos

Lanier Days is an annual festival in Madison, Ind., on the grounds of the Lanier Mansion that highlights the life and culture of the early Victorian period.

Held June 19-20, the festival featured presentations on Civil War-era cooking techniques and the use of herbs, as well as steamboats, nineteenth-century artisans and trades, and music of the era. This year, the Indiana Humanities Council awarded the festival a Humanities Initiative Grant, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities.
