Conner Prairie is a living history museum in Fishers, Indiana, United States, which preserves the William Conner home. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the museum recreates 19th-century life along the White River. The museum also hosts several programs and events, including outdoor performances by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and summer camps. The property and William Conner house were purchased by pharmaceutical executive Eli Lilly in 1933 or 1934. With the aim of connecting "people with history in ways that books cannot," Lilly restored the house, and opened it to visitors. The property was initially known as Conner Prairie Farm. Lilly appointed resident Vern H. Fisher manager. By 1940, Lilly had added several structures to the property, including a still, a loom house, and a trading post. After Fisher's death in 1942, Tillman Bubenzer was appointed farm manager until 1977. The farm was unprofitable and depended on Lilly's support. More information...
