Minnetrista Museum & Gardens

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.
