    Conner Prairie Interactive History Park

    Arrive at Conner Prairie Interactive History Park right at opening. Start your visit at the modern museum to learn about the science and anthropological history before heading out to the historic village. The park is open from 10 AM, so you will be among the first to explore the grounds and see the volunteers dressed in period costume.

  2. 11:30

    Check the route for a nearby lunch spot. The context does not list specific food or drink shops inside or immediately adjacent to the park, so you will need to find a place to eat in Fishers after your visit.

Spend the rest of the time exploring the living history areas, watching demonstrations like blacksmithing and cooking, and experiencing the games and schooling of the past. The park remains open until 3 PM in winter or 5 PM in summer, giving you plenty of time to finish your tour.
