Muncie Arts and Culture District It all started with glass. In the late 19th century the natural resources found near Muncie stimulated growth for the production of glass. Ball Corporation, which held important patents for mass production of glass jars, had its headquarters and large manufacturing operations here. Muncie’s rich glass heritage dots the Arts and Culture District and compliments the many arts establishments. Historical buildings and homes still echo the Gas Boom Era of the early years. Our unique heritage is reflected throughout the District, linked by the Muncie Arts and Culture Trail and the Indiana Glass Trail.

The Muncie Arts and Culture District encompasses four distinct quadrants with concentration of various arts and cultural amenities, each offering a unique contribution to Muncie’s history of glass. Muncie can best be experienced by visiting each area, chosen for its contribution of culture, history and artistic expression. Visitors are directed through the District by wayfin- ding signs placed along the Muncie Arts and Culture Trail which links the four areas and connects with the Cardinal Greenway and White River Greenway.

Muncie’s Glass Heritage In 1887, the Ball family moved its glass manufacturing business from Buffalo, New York to Muncie. Glass Company became one of America’s best known manufacturers of canning jars.

The Ball family purchased most of the land along the north bank of White River Between Wheeling and Granville pikes in 1893. The name chosen by the family for the property was taken from a Sioux word, “mna” (pronounced mini) which means “water,” and combined with the English word, “tryst,” to form “Minnetrista,” or, “a gathering place by the water.”

The origin of the cultural center dates back to 1978, when Margaret Ball Petty wrote to her cousin Edmund F. Ball, suggesting that the Ball Brothers Foundation provide a museum in which to exhibit fine art.
