I’m going back to Indiana…
If you’re a TV and history buff, you may not mind a short drive to Indiana.
At the Northern Indiana Center for History in South Bend, Ind., they have a multi-media presentation called “Chaning Channels.” The exhibit explores how TV interprets history; the past, present and future of TV technology; TV’s place in reporting memorable events; a review of famous/favorite commercials, and highlights from shows like I Love Lucy, Star Trek, and MASH.
It also features some other cool things, like the postal uniform worn by Cliff Clavin from Cheers and the microphone from the very first American Bandstand used by Dick Clark in 1956.
The exhibit is open through Feb. 29 at Northern Indiana Center for History, 808 W. Washington St., South Bend. It’s in the downtown area, only 10 minutes south of I-80/90.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturdays, and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.
