About the Event

Dancing with the Hendricks County Stars is one of the county's premier events and often sells out!  Held at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds and Conference Center, this year we celebrate Hendricks County's bicentennial.

Doors open at 5:45pm, with a cash bar cocktail hour, followed by dinner at 6:45pm and dance competition starting at 8pm.  

The Coachman restaurant will be providing an amazing meal, including their acclaimed prime rib.  The entertainment is always the highlight of the night where the 10 dancers and their professional Arthur Murray instructors will perform and compete!  You'll have a chance to pick up some fun and unique items in our silent auction where bidding will start a few days before the event and go through the night!   

We look forward to seeing our regulars and welcoming new guests!   

Our dancers are all volunteers!  They give generously of their time to learn a dance routine and to personally raise funds for the museum.  Dancers will compete for 3 awards: Judges' Best Dancer, Audience Favorite, and Top Fundraiser.  Support your favorite dancer by purchasing tickets/sponsorships in their name, and/or donate on their behalf.

About the Museum

The Hendricks County Historical Museum's mission is to collect, preserve and interpret items relating to the people, places and events of Hendricks County and to stimulate public interest in the heritage of the county through education, exhibits and special programs.

The museum opened for this season on March 17, and we are thrilled to welcome guests and show off some of our new displays featuring several townships.  In our changing display rooms, we have our display of Farming and Gardening.

Our storage house at 98 W Broadway Street, is our newest area, where we can pack away collections and treasures for future displays, protecting our rich history for generations to come.

The Hendricks County Museum is at 170 S. Washington Street in Danville, just one block south of the courthouse square in the building that served from 1866 to 1974, as the Hendricks County Sheriff’s home, with the jail in the basement. It is furnished as it would have been in the late 1800s.
