The Indiana State Police Museum is calling all witches, goblins, superheroes, and zombies to come trick-or-treat with the Indiana State Police.

Parents, mark your calendar to bring your costumed children to the annual Trunk or Treat from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, Saturday, October 19th at the Indiana State Police Museum , 8660 East 21st Street, Indianapolis, IN.

Troopers and local police officers will be on hand to give out candy from the trunks of cars to all children in costume. There will be games and craft activities for all visitors. Come early though, as our supply of “treats” is limited, but you won’t run out of things to look at in the ISP Museum!

Need a mummy for your mommy? In this family friendly activity we’ll safely fuse glass rods and noodles instead of handling molten glass from hot kilns.

Sign up for a Make It Take class but don’t forget to check out the other festivities including, fresh cider, BRICS ice cream, family activities, and the opening of the Art Center’s Annual Faculty Show which celebrates the artwork of the Art Center’s amazing teaching artists!
