While Comic Con events are often geared towards adults, kids equally love characters from their favorite TV shows, movies, and comic books and are thrilled when they get to meet them. cMoe's Kids Comic Con provides children with this opportunity in an exciting environment. We're looking forward to seeing guests' creative costumes, and families having 'the best day ever' with us. ~Executive Director Erica Schmidt

This event is free with paid General Admission. Museum General Admission is $15 per person, and cMoe Members and children under 18 months of age get in for free. Tickets can be purchased in the Children’s Museum or online at cmoekids.org.

The Most Unique Museums in Indiana

Indiana is home to a whole bunch of museums, several of which house some pretty unique, unusual, and unreal items. Here is a list of 14 such museums from all around the Hoosier state. I decided to list them in alphabetical order. Enjoy!

See How Downtown Evansville Has Changed Over the Years

I find looking back on the way things used to be fascinating. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm living through the current time period. The conveniences of answering any question we have in seconds, or ordering practically anything we want or need and having it delivered to our doorstep is pretty sweet. But, there is something fun about seeing how things around us have evolved. As an Evansville native, and spending quite a bit of my time in downtown Evansville (that's where the station is located), I've always appreciated the older architecture of the buildings around the area. So, I dug into the Willard Library Archives to see how a few of those areas look now compared to then. Some have changed a little, others quite a bit, and a few don't even exist any more. Take a look.
