White River State Park attractions will offer several activities in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. Indiana State Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, Eiteljorg Museum and Indianapolis Zoo visitors can explore several civil rights exhibits, presentations and displays. Maggie Ranello is the deputy director of White River State Park and said its annual partnership with Gleaners Food Bank will continue, but it has to be different this year.
“We just ask for a monetary donation to Gleaners Food Bank, and that can be done on site through dip jars or through a virtual food drive that we are hosting this year as well, so people can make a donation before they come on site,” Ranello said.
Some of the museums require a reservation while others are using staggered entry.
