Indiana’s Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. provides young Hoosiers the opportunity to visit their nation’s capital, experience American history and gain a better understanding about their electric cooperative and government. The 2015 Indiana Youth Tour is June 11-18.
Students participating in the trip will visit the Flight 93 and Pentagon 9/11 Memorials, the Gettysburg Battlefield, Arlington National Cemetery, the Smithsonian Institution, a night cruise on the Potomac River, the National Mall memorials, the National Museum of the Marine Corps and much more.
