Immerse yourself in the lives of the Lenape Indians, strike a deal with the Prairietown store owner or help catch the chickens at the Golden Eagle complex. Each area offers new dynamic and interactive experiences to help engage you and your group in history. Inspire curiosity in your group by letting them touch and feel history with their own hands!
Things to See and Do
This incredible one-of-a-kind experience puts you right in the middle of a brush with the Civil War. Through video and Conner Prairie actors dressed in authentic period costumes, you will be drawn into the true story of General John Hunt Morgan's cavalry raid on Indiana. There is plenty for children to see and do in the River Crossing Play Area, including a water splash play area, indoor play zone and replica steamboat to climb aboard.
1859 Balloon Voyage
Discover one of the earliest chapters of aviation history at Conner Prairie’s 1859 Balloon Voyage. Experiment with the science and technology of ballooning, then soar 350 feet above the landscape in a tethered, helium-filled balloon and see the world like John Wise did! (There is an additional fee for the Ballon Voyage and the attraction is weather-permitting.)
Welcome Center
The Welcome Center is the perfect place for an introduction to Conner Prairie. It’s filled with fun, interactive activities and an orientation video produced just for you! Conner Prairie representatives are on hand to help you make the most of your visit. Fashion a craft in Craft Corner, experiment in the Science Lab or visit the Discovery Station play area. Round out the visit with a stop in the Conner Prairie Store which offers locally-produced food items, such as preserves, books, unique games and toys, and much more.
Lenape Indian Camp
Explore the wigwams in Conner Prairie's earliest historic area. Experience the lives of the Lenape, or Delaware, Indians and strike a deal with a fur trader. Get some tomahawk training too and try to hit the target.
1836 Prairietown
Discover what life was like in 1836 Indiana when you visit Prairietown, a pioneer settlement bustling with activity. Jump in and help with chores, talk medicine or politics, and feel the heat from the blacksmith’s forge! Try your hand at pioneer games or visit with the town folk and trade stories.
William Conner Homestead
Peek into William Conner’s world when you visit his homestead, a treasured piece of Indiana history. Explore the Loom House, gardens and get up close and personal with some of our animals in the Animal Encounters Barn. You can groom and play with baby animals such as lambs, chicks, kids and calves.
