| Approach: |
The IGWS will provide a guided quarry tour, photograph gallery, public presentation, and/or guided campus walking tours to Limestone Month participants. |
| Products: |
Presentation and tours |
| Benefits: |
This project will provide IGWS with visibility in Monroe and Lawrence Counties, and showcase the important resources available in the Stone Belt. It will strengthen ties between local museum organizations and enable continued accessibility of the Indiana Limestone Photograph Collection. |
