Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

By Hannah Kiefer

Summer break has arrived for most families, and summer means one thing: road trips.

This summer, explore right in your own backyard with day trips to destinations you’ve always driven by, but never stopped to see – or return to your favorite destinations to see what’s new.

The Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites offers 12 different locations where you can spend a day or even a weekend if you plan to visit several sites. Whether you’re interested in art and culture, history and science, there’s a location for every interest.

Need help with the planning? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. From what you can do to how you’ll get there, we’ve compiled resources to make your visit to any of our locations a breeze, so that your day trip is all fun and no stress.

Click on the links below to find your perfect day trip – and happy adventuring this summer.

PS: Be sure to share your adventures with us by posting photos from trips to our sites on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using #IndianaExplored. Every week throughout June and July, we’ll select a winning photo using that hashtag to win a family four pack of tickets, so that you can explore another one of our locations.
