Why you should go…

Conner Prairie is a living history museum on the White River in Fishers that preserves the 1823 brick home of William Conner. In 1836 Prairietown you join a recreated pioneer village and talk with its residents about 19th century Midwest life. You can also visit the Lenape Camp, climb the 4-story Treetop Outpost, and ride the tethered 1859 Balloon Voyage more than 350 feet up for a separate fee. Pharmaceutical executive Eli Lilly bought the property in the 1930s.
