From the Pioneer Village to the nature center, to the caves there's so much to see and do around Spring Mill State Park.  Here's what IN.Gov has to say about the Pioneer Village at Spring Mill State Park:

The restored Pioneer Village, founded in 1814, contains 20 historic buildings to explore. The centerpiece is a 3-story limestone gristmill, built in 1817, that still grinds cornmeal today. Heritage interpreters portray the year 1863 and demonstrate period crafts.

But for one-night every October, the Pioneer Village turns into an epic Halloween haunt.
