Trails lead through the village for biking and hiking. Amazing new find that unearths more of the mysteries of our earliest settlers.

cMoe - Koch Family Children's Museum of Evansville
The Koch Family Children's Museum of Evansville has become the new favorite place for children of all ages from the Evansville and tri-state region! Visiting this museum is an experience that will engage your child as they learn and have a ball - as in the Quack Factory assembly of sirens, bells and lights to signal the relay of the production sequence. Or let them try out their stage talents to write, direct and edit their own play complete with video replay to see themselves as stars! Children under 18 should be accompanied by an adult.
