We maintain a spacious forty-acre campus which is open to the public and includes beautiful gardens, our Nature Area, a modern museum facility, historic homes, children's play areas, and a portion of the White River Greenway. Throughout the year our roster of educational programs, engaging workshops, community events, and interactive exhibits are consistently rotating and changing.
Built on the unique legacy of the Ball family and company, Minnetrista works to nurture a thriving community that takes pride in its accomplishments and strives for a brighter future.
