I'm not much into military history but my brother is, so I took him to Camp Atterbury's outdoor…read moremuseum during his recent visit to Indiana. Both of our parents served in the Air Force, so we grew up with an appreciation of military equipment and bases. We visited the park on the 4th of July weekend, which seemed like a good tribute. The park is open during daylight hours and is a self guided tour. In the center of the park is a Memorial to all the various military groups that served at Camp Atterbury. A bronze statue of a U.S. soldier stands as the focal point facing a pool. Behind the soldier are insignias of the honored military groups. The pool has fish and there is a machine to buy food for them. The fish swim by the machine and look up longingly. You need a quarter to buy the food and I didn't have one, so I was sorry to disappoint them. Special bricks around the pool are carved with the names of people that served at Camp Atterbury. Two paved walkways circle the park with pieces of retired military equipment. Plaques describe each vehicle. A Huey helicopter, M47 Patton tank and an M1 Abrams tank are among the several dozen vehicles at the Museum. My brother loved the little walk around. He took photos and talked military. Recently, Camp Atterbury hosted a number of Afghan refugees. A painted mural welcoming the refugees stands in the park. An old railroad car used to hold a gift shop, but that has been moved to the main museum (which was closed during our visit). A nice set of restrooms stands on the grounds. The walkways are wheelchair accessible. Parking is free. The museum is free but donations are appreciated. There is a box for donations near the entrance. The museum would be a good visit for a veteran or anyone that served at Camp Atterbury.

Very few trees to pick from to cut on your own, and the prices started at $70. Friendly people.read more

The Johnson County Museum is housed in a historic former Masonic Temple with huge columns. Inside,…read morethe rooms are spacious and filled with local artifacts and stories about the county. There was a small interesting fossil display with information about the fossils (which was my favorite display). A special exhibit featuring locally handcrafted furniture was near the entrance. The rooms progress with artifacts and stories from Johnson County first settlement through present day. Downstairs, there is a genealogy center, with staff eager to help. The museum relies on volunteers. The staff was super friendly and recommended nearby places to visit and eat. She also provided information that I was looking for about a historical building. She was knowledgeable and 5 star helpful. There is a small gift shop with interesting Indiana books, shirts, etc. (I picked up a couple books.) Memberships to the museum are available. There is no admission fee, but they encourage donations. We found nearby free street parking. Worth a visit if you live in Johnson County or tracing genealogy.

The building is historic in its own right and the exhibits are arranged roughly chronologically with staff on hand to answer questions.

Visitors can walk through quickly with kids and talk about technology and people of the past. I stopped by the museum to get information about the local courthouse. I was greeted by Sarah Richardt, the new curator of the museum. Sarah told me what I could find in the museum and offered to arrange for me to meet with a local judge to discuss the courthouse. Wow! (The people in Shelby county are the nicest.) A timeline exhibit, archives the names and dates for the building and history of Shelbyville and the county. I was able to find information I needed here. The railroad room has a working toy train and stories about the local railroad. Downstairs, historical information about local industry and technology are described. There is a small gift shop at the front of the museum. The building is old with stairs, but there is a rear entrance near an elevator for wheelchairs and strollers. The museum hosts a summer camp and other activities throughout the year. There are play/learning areas set up throughout the facility Admission is free to the museum and donations accepted. There is free street parking outside. Public restrooms are available.

They have recently remodeled the lower level sections to focus on a photography studio from many years ago and see the town through their lens (literally). They also created a new interactive exhibit that includes both the natural history of the area and the manufacturing history. Both areas of focus pull in personal stories and connections as you learn and discover. The sister city exhibit that educates about their sister city of Shizuoka, Japan is equally insightful with statistics and an interactive chance to make your own block print. The upstairs features interactive components while educating on the history of Shelbyville's downtown square and how it has changed through time. The museum is FREE and supported by donations so please contribute if you enjoyed your time! An interesting stop off the main road of sites. A 2-3 hour visit would allow you to see most exhibits but one could spend longer.
