Hands-on Freedom Bus exhibit reopens to tell shared civil rights stories

MUNCIE — An interactive way to learn about Civil Rights is on display at Minnetrista.

The Freedom Bus is a hands-on civil rights museum built in a retired city bus, said Beth Messner, associate professor of communication studies at Ball State University.

This free-to-the-public display explores the Civil Rights movement in Indiana, specifically, East Central Indiana. Visitors can trace the Underground Railroad routes on a map of the state, pick up a phone to hear from local leaders in the movement and more.
