Lost Towns of Delaware County, Indiana
10am to 11:30am @
The E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center
Ball State University
400 Minnetrista Boulevard, Muncie
Cost: No Charge- Reservations Required Ages: 18+
The E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center
Nearly 100 distinct settlements existed in what we now call Delaware County. Since the end of the American Revolution, Native Americans, pioneer farmers, industrialists and factory workers settled across the county in hamlets, villages and towns of all sizes. Some of these communities survived the ebb and flow of history to prosper, while others disappeared, becoming lost in the collective memory. Today, many residents would only recognize the city of Muncie and the towns of Albany, Daleville, Eaton, Gaston, Selma, and Yorktown. A few might know of villages such as Desoto, New Burlington, Smithfield, and Wheeling. Most have probably never heard of Dogtown, Gate’s Corner, Granville, and Soccum. Drawing upon years of research, Chris uncovers the stories of these lost towns in his new book, Lost Towns of Delaware County, Indiana. Books will be available for signing.

Black Holes, Wormholes & the Movies - Planetarium Show
6:30pm to 7:15pm @
Charles W. Brown Planetarium
2000 W Riverside Ave
A place from which nothing can escape, not even light, is called a black hole. Once thought to be only a mathematical curiosity, astronomers now think they are real. The theory of relativity also predicts the existence of wormholes that connect different regions of the universe. Popular movies have shown black holes as places of great destruction and wormholes as a way for instantaneous travel across the galaxy. But is any of this true? Did Hollywood get it right?
Suitable for all ages 12+
Tickests are free. Seats given on a first come, first serve basis. Doors open 30 minutes before show time.

Movement in Nature An Art Exhibition by Kimberley True
5pm @
Cornerstone Center for the Arts
Judith Barnes Memorial Gallery
520 E Main, Muncie, IN 47305
Join Cornerstone Center for Arts on Thursday, May 2 for the opening reception of Movement in Nature, an art exhibition by Kimberley True. The reception will take place in the Judith Barnes Memorial Gallery on the second floor of Cornerstone from 5 to 7 p.m. in conjunction with May’s First Thursday events.
The world around us is ever-evolving, always in motion and yet quiet and still. It is enveloping and frightening and awe-inspiring. As above in the clouds and stars, so below in the deepest oceans, this is where Kimberley True finds her greatest source of inspiration.
True’s art is deeply rooted in her fascination with movement in nature. She has created paintings that flow and breathe across the canvas. Her color schemes are influenced from far-off galaxies, sunsets over Midwestern fields, and the crashing waves along our ocean's shores.
Kimberley True is a Muncie-native and only daughter to local artists Randy and Debbie True. Her first loves were reading and writing however art was a close third. The messier the medium, the better. After charcoal, pastels, and watercolor, Kim settled on acrylics as her preferred modus operandi.
Movement in Nature will be on display and open to the public in the Judith Barnes Memorial Gallery throughout the month of May.
For more information about the exhibition call Cornerstone’s Department of Education & Communication at 765-281- 9503, ext. 23 or visit cornerstonearts.org.
