Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

Enjoy a summer evening of family fun on the downtown Canal Walk at our first Canal Nights of the season! Stop by to play games, decorate your very own solar oven, make beaded UV bracelets, paint with water and explore a water sensory table.

Meet our community partners:

Canal Nights take place outdoors at the museum’s canal entrance along the Downtown Canal, and inside in the museum’s Great Hall. The rest of the museum is closed to the public. If parking in the White River State Park garage, the canal entrance can be accessed by walking through level one of the museum.
