Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

A tall tale is a story with unbelievable events. Some are exaggerations of actual events while other tall tales are completely fictional set in a familiar setting. What tall tales can you create? Find out as we work together to turn your tales into a visible representation by building a scene out of cardboard.

Youth will enjoy an engaging summer camp experience filled with hands-on making, creating, discovery and play! Explore the museum’s galleries, get up close to specimens and artifacts, wander through our Watanabe Gardens and enjoy the canal view with integrated art, science and nature exploration.
