| Conner Prairie Living History Museum |
| This is not a stone building with exhibits displayed behind glass. There are no amusement rides, or coin insert exhibits. You step into a community that has been restored from the past. You are surrounded by authentically clothed interpreters who speak, work and interact with you as though you had stepped back in time about 150 years. In 1934 Eli Lilly, president of the Indiana Historical Society purchased the house and property of William and Elizabeth Conners. Lilly's goals were to save the house and to restore it to its once dignified condition. Even though historic preservation was in its infancy during the 1930s, Lilly did all he could to familiarize himself with the aims, objectives, and techniques of these earlier times. Today, the property is an open-air living history museum divided into five distinct historic areas covering 1,400 acres exploring the lives, times and values of the 1800s in America. |
