Becoming a Hoosier Museum Buff

Do you enjoy visiting museums? If so, this post is for you and your family. I love going to museums. My favorite kind of museums are history kinds. When I was a kid my mom would take us to the museums in Indianapolis in the summer. There are so many different kinds of museums to visit in Indianapolis, starting with Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville. You are never too old to visit a museum, so if you haven’t been in a while, it’s definitely time to check one out!
