Indiana State Button Society

Welcome to the Indiana State Button Society's new web site!

The Indiana State Button Society was formed in 1940 as a means to promote the collecting, preservation, and enjoyment of buttons. Anyone who likes buttons and would want to learn about them is welcome to join our group. For your convenience we have clubs all around the state of Indiana.

The ISBS meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month, usually at MCL Cafeteria 5520 Castleton Corner Lane
Indianapolis, IN 46250 unless otherwise noted.

 Our meetings begin at 11:00 AM with a short business meeting, a raffle, lunch and then a button program presented by one of our members.

Meeting dates for 2009 are as follows:

  1. January 10th
  2. February 14th
