MUNCIE, IN—Despite the fact that many of us worried clouds would ruin our views of the solar eclipse, mother nature provided Muncie with weather that could not have been more perfect.
Minnetrista Museum and Gardens had a three-day celebration and nearly 1500 visitors gathered on their campus with friends, family, and pets to experience the total solar eclipse.
