Visitors will feel like they are stepping into a beloved children’s storybook as they encounter whimsical scenes and engaging sensory activities in this nature-inspired experience. Designed to help build confidence and cultivate scientific curiosity, children will discover and learn about animals that emerge in their neighborhoods and local forests after the sun goes down.
Organized and produced by the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, with support from the Ball Brothers Foundation and the George and Frances Ball Foundation.
Opening October 8th, 2025
Now located at Minnetrista Museum & Gardens, the Freedom Bus is a former Muncie Indiana Transit System (MITS) bus transformed into a mobile civil rights museum. With a focus on all the brave individuals who spoke up and stood up to demand equality, the bus shares powerful stories of East Central Indiana’s role in the civil rights movement.
The Freedom Bus is available by request during regular museum hours. Please check in at the Center Building for access.
