High Honors
Conner Prairie has earned an honor highly coveted in the national museum community—inclusion in

According to Smithsonian Senior Editor Kathleen Burke, "Conner Prairie—with its unique regional identity, sense of place, commitment to preserving our American heritage and imaginative re-creation of several chapters in American history—constituted a perfect choice for Smithsonian."
