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.
