Two of the top museums in the state are in Vincennes.

        The Indiana Military Museum on Willow is ranked 7th and the Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy on the VU campus is number 9.

        That’s according to VisitIndiana.com.

        State officials told museum officials recently that the two places made the top 50 and then the website did an online poll where both places were voted into the top ten.

        The Red Skelton Museum celebrates the life and legacy Skelton, a Vincennes native considered of one of America’s greatest comedians.

        The Indiana military museum includes one of the best comprehensive collections of military artifacts in the Midwest. The collection includes indoor and outdoor spanning the Civil War through current military engagements.
