5 Gallon Trip: Heritage Museum and Gardens
BackKnown for the bright rhododendron blooms that cover the property through early June, the Heritage Museums and Gardens is more than a horticultural dream: It is a hodgepodge of art, culture and history spread over 100 meticulously landscaped acres. Auto enthusiasts will revel in a medley of mint-condition rides displayed in the round Shaker barn that houses the J.K. Lilly III Antique Automobile Museum. Across the park at the Art Museum, a gallery of folk art is steps away from a hand-carved carousel, where kids and adults alike can bob and twirl on elaborate horses for free. Next door, an exhibit that explores pirates through history and in pop culture has movies, a climb-inside jail and the chance to take the wheel of a pirate ship. A short walk away, the American History Museum offers rotating exhibits housed in an imposing replica of a Revolutionary War fort where George Washington's army spent the last winter of the Revolutionary War. And even the walk between exhibits will promises to entertain, with mazes, gardens and an impressive windmill scattered throughout the park.
