Indiana shuts down Ernie Pyle Museum

DANA, Ind. – The state historic site featuring famed World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle’s boyhood home and a collection of his memorabilia has been closed, with officials saying it drew too few visitors.

The state agency that oversees the small museum estimates the closing will save about $50,000 a year in maintenance costs and that Pyle’s legacy will get more attention as part of an expanded display at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis.
