Indiana is home to a festival celebrating the most famous ghost story of all time, and heads will roll.

One of the Most Visited Outdoor Museums in the Country

Located in Fishers, Indiana is one of the largest attractions in the region, and one of the most visited outdoor museums in the country, Conner Prairie.   Conner Prairie is home to over 2 miles of walkable paths, and more than 30 buildings.  The outdoor museum is a way to step back in time and learn about history in a fun and interactive way.  If you want to learn more about Conner Prairie or plan your visit, you can check out everything you need to know through their website, here.
