Prairie Guest House

🍳 Food has a way of bringing people together.

That’s one of the reasons we absolutely love FOOD: Science, Culture, and Cuisine, the brand-new traveling exhibit now open across the street at Conner Prairie.

This isn’t a typical museum exhibit. You’ll race against the clock in hands-on kitchen challenges like whisking, rolling dough, and mastering mandoline slicing. Test your senses with smell-identification stations—including an herb that only about half of people in France can detect. Sample different dark chocolates, explore global food traditions, and step into one of the most visually stunning immersive banquet experiences we’ve seen.

The exhibit explores how food connects science, culture, agriculture, family traditions, and communities around the world—and it’s designed to engage all five senses along the way.

As bed and breakfast innkeepers, we couldn’t help but appreciate the exhibit’s central message. Some of life’s best conversations and memories happen around food. Whether it’s gathering around a table at home, sharing breakfast with loved ones, or discovering new culinary traditions together, food has a unique way of bringing people closer.

If you’re planning a summer getaway near Indianapolis, add this to your itinerary. Spend the day exploring Conner Prairie, then unwind at Prairie Guest House and wake up to a homemade breakfast the next morning.

What if your wedding felt more like a dinner party with your favorite people?

Big weddings aren’t for everyone—and that’s exactly why micro weddings are having a moment.

A micro wedding is an intentionally small wedding celebration, typically with fewer than 50 guests. You still get all the meaningful parts of a wedding day—the ceremony, beautiful photos, dinner, toasts, and celebration—just on a more intimate scale.

Couples often choose a micro wedding because it allows them to:

💍Spend more quality time with each guest
💍Focus their budget on what matters most
💍Enjoy a more relaxed planning process
💍Create a personalized experience that feels true to them

At Prairie Guest House, micro weddings feel right at home.

Exchange vows surrounded by two acres of gardens and mature native Indiana trees. Gather for an intimate dinner around our signature long dining table where everyone can share one conversation. Capture stunning photos throughout the property, from our historic barn featuring the beautiful mural by Aly Kirkham to the gardens, meadows, and charming guest house grounds.

Want a little more room to celebrate? Our event space also accommodates outdoor tents and expanded dining areas, giving you flexibility while still maintaining the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes Prairie Guest House special. Even a wedding as large as 70 guests can be accommodated for under 4k!

ROOM OF THE MONTH: The Bransfield  

By day: sunshine through the windows, soft florals, and a peaceful retreat.

By night: matching pajamas, cheer stories, late-night laughs, and “just one more thing…” before bed. 💕

With a queen bed, a full and a cozy daybed, the Bransfield is one of our favorite spaces for girls’ weekends, cheer and dance competition stays, mother-daughter getaways, and family trips with young children. The daybed is perfect for chatting into the night, coffee in the morning, or a special sleeping spot for kids. 

It’s the kind of room that looks beautiful when it’s empty—but truly comes to life when it’s filled with your favorite people.

Whether you’re making memories with teammates, best friends, sisters, daughters, or your whole family, the Bransfield was designed for togetherness.
