School and Group Tours

Our staff is happy to schedule guided tours for schools or any other groups who wish to visit the museum. 

Please call 317-346-4500 to schedule your tour.  

Tours can be arranged for any length of time; however, for most groups, 45 minutes to an hour is best if you wish to tour all the galleries and the log cabin.  Due to staff limitations, we cannot offer guided tours to unscheduled groups.

 

 

 Facility Rental

The museum boasts a beautiful auditorium that accommodates 200 people with theater seating and 130 guests with table seating.  Auditorium rental is $400/day and is available when there are no events or exhibits in the space.  A small meeting room is also available to the public, free of charge during museum operating hours, and seats 40.   Please call in advance for availability.  

 

 

 Artifact Donations

The majority of our collection comes from generous donors just like you! 

If you are interested in donating an item, it's always best to call ahead and make an appointment with the curator. 

While we appreciate all the artifact offers that are presented to the museum; regrettably, we cannot accept every donation offer.  The museum has an official collection policy and a limited amount of storage space.
