As a child, studying Indiana history in the fourth grade, we would take a field trip to Conner Prairie every year. I remember saving up my money to go to the souvenir shop to buy arrowheads. The pioneer village was always one of my favorite places to go.

Since I was visiting as a child, about a hundred years ago, the village has grown with events planned all year long. One of the most frightening experiences happens during the month of Halloween. Let's just say, you should stay wary on the prairie. 

Other spooky activities, for all ages, can be had at the prairie too.

It's not too late to go and well worth the trip to just outside of Indianapolis. Here are more details to know before you go. Go spend some time with the Headless Horseman.
