The World’s Largest Children’s Museum Isn’t In New York Or Paris, It’s Right Here In Indiana

A glass sculpture made of more than 3,200 handblown pieces rises 43 feet through the middle of one building. That reminds me, the same building has scientists cleaning real dinosaur fossils behind a window. Anyway, let me tell you something about the glass. That tower would be enough for most...

Escape To This Secluded Indiana State Park That Feels Like Your Own Private Paradise

Plan A Multi-Day Escape To The Absolutely Massive State Park Hiding In Indiana’s Backyard

Most people drive through Indiana without stopping, which is their loss and, frankly, a little bit insulting to Brown County State Park in Nashville. This place has been sitting here in the hills of south-central Indiana, absolutely massive and genuinely breathtaking, while the rest of the world scrolls past it on the highway without a second glance.

This Indiana Attraction Combines State History, Giant-Screen Films, and a Walk Along the Canal

A mastodon named Fred lives downtown, and he shares a building with a six-story movie screen. That alone should earn a road trip. I like when a museum refuses to pick just one personality. Outside, the walls are made from Indiana limestone, sandstone, brick, and steel. A huge brick cylinder...

A quote on a mirror in Caitlin Clark’s childhood home inspires her new children's book

Fever Clark Children's Book Basketball Random House Children's Books Caitlin Clark has been an avid reader since she was a kid, thanks in huge part to her mother. Now the Indiana Fever star can add writer to her ever-growing resume with a new children's book, “EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams," that comes out Tuesday. “I grew up loving to read books,” Clark said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “My mom was an English major in college. She's a bookworm, she reads a lot of books, so she helped me a little bit with this.” It's a picture book published by Random House Books for Young Readers that's written in rhyming verse. Clark first thought about not having it rhyme, but she said it just worked better that way. “Everything that you see, I always have a part in,” Clark said of her involvement with the book. “I want people to know I put a lot of time and effort into that.” The book was inspired by a quote that's on a mirror in her childhood home: "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA.” The mirror is still in her parents' house.
