Family Day guests will be the first to explore You Are There 1948:Â Communities Can!, an exhibition taking visitors back in time to a canning center that existed on the grounds of the Ball Brothers Company in Muncie, Ind. Guests can help a group of women prep their produce for canning, learn more about the process and overhear the latest news of the day in post-World War II Indiana.
In addition, the Family Day event will feature a recipe activity, allowing guests to apply what they learned in the exhibit; a planting activity, complete with herbs for guests to take home; and a show and tell with vintage canning equipment.
Additional Photo Opportunity: Don’t miss a demonstration by master food preserver and canning instructor Suzanne Krowiak, who will be canning a fruit jam at 2 p.m., in Eli Lilly Hall.
You Are There 1948: Communities Can! opens March 5 and runs through August 12, 2017. It is presented by Ball Brothers Foundation, in partnership with Minnetrista.
