About
Minnetrista is your year-round gathering place!
Built on the unique legacy of the Ball family and company, Minnetrista works to nurture a thriving community that takes pride in its accomplishments and strives for a brighter future. Located on the White River in the middle of Muncie Indiana, our 40-acre museum and gardens is a community gem. Whether exploring our exhibits and historic homes, or meandering our trails, visitors to our site find a moment outside of the everyday where discovery, imagination, and learning are core. Our calendar full of educational programs, workshops, and community events is ever changing as we strive to meet our communities’ interests and needs.
Whether you are a first time visitor to Muncie, or a life-long resident, there is something for you at Minnetrista. In everything we do, we hold our mission central: connecting people, encouraging engagement, and improving our community.
