Conner Prairie’s New Inclusive Park Welcomes All
- ANDREW BRADFORD - VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF ADVANCEMENT OFFICER AT CONNER PRAIRIE
As with all exhibits developed at the museum, decisions for the design were based on the needs of patrons. Input was received from leaders at community partner Behavior Analysis Center for Autism (BACA). Several individuals served by BACA are employed at Conner Prairie.
The approximately $500,000 investment for the project was funded by the Estridge Family Foundation and the Conner Prairie Alliance. The Estridge family has a long history of supporting the museum, and the popular Treetop Outpost exhibit installed in 2015 was a gift from the foundation. The Conner Prairie Alliance is a group of female volunteers who raise money through merchandise sold at the Apple Store. Throughout the past 35 years, proceeds from the store have contributed to major projects.
“The playground is fully accessible for everyone, not just for those with disabilities,” Bradford says. “It’s designed to engage side-byside play for all ages and abilities. Conner Prairie has the ability to immerse people in a story. The panels surrounding the playground tell the story of the farm that was once there. Eli Lilly said that livinghistory museums can teach in a way that books can’t. We are carrying on that legacy.”
Conner Prairie is located at 13400 Allisonville Road in Fishers. For more info, call 317-776-6000 and visit connerprairie.org.
