Yard Of Bricks
Historical landmark
👍👍 It was one of the easiest times to be able to stand in the middle of a historic spot. Even if you aren't a race fan being able to stand on a spot most people know but you wouldn't imagine being there. This is one where you are amazed at how small it is when standing there, For all that history.

IMS Gate 1
Historical landmark
👍👍 Gate 1 is the easiest in-and-out on foot to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We park in Gate 1 parking -the very best tailgating - then go right in to the Greatest Spectacle in Racing - Qualifications & The Indy 500 🏁

Ayres Clock
Historical landmark
👍👍 I didn’t know the story behind this clock so I looked it up. It takes its name from a department store that was in that location from the early 1900s to 1992. The clock itself is almost a hundred years old and has been restored twice. From thanksgiving to Christmas it is adorned with a cherub statue...

McCormick’s Rock
Historical landmark
👍👍 Every time we go to the canal we stop here. Back in 2004 I proposed marriage to my wife. We have taken our children here many times. It isn’t me in the pictures or video. John McCormick was one of the founders of the city of Indianapolis and a founding member of the First Baptist Church of Indianapo...

Idle Park
Park
👍👍 I give this place five stars (rare for me) because it goes against the grain of everything. It’s hidden, yet it stands out. It’s easy to overlook, yet hard to forget. It has a simple name, yet a distinction all of its own. Indianapolis isn’t known as a quirky city, but this small park puts Indy on t...

Herron-Morton Place Park
Park
👍👍 Very nice play ground, well maintained. It's also only a seven minute drive from the nearby hospital. It has a good amount of benches and picnic tables, and the park is gated all around, except for the entrance. There are two larger grassy areas that are great for kids to play, and it is nicely shad...

Indiana State Capitol
Tourist attraction
😐 I enjoy touring state capitol buildings when I travel. We went through security & got a self guided tour pamphlet at the tour desk. I did call up in advance to check if they have guided tours, unfortunately they did not have one when we planned. I would recommend a guided tour, as it gets you in to...

Landmark for Peace Memorial
Park
👍👍 I'll point out that RFK's Indianapolis speech immediately following the assassination of Martin Luther Ming, Jr., can be found on YouTube; and Wikipedia has a long article about the delivery of that speech in Indianapolis. Otherwise, I'll simply post some photographs of this small sub-section of the...

Benton House
Historical society
👍👍 I recently had my wedding here and it was just what we wanted! This place is ideal for cozy warm photos. We loved the vintage decorations and enjoyed a small gathering with our loved ones. The only downfall is that most of the furniture cannot be moved or touched. We just had to plan around this! It...

Indiana Landmarks
Non-profit organization
👍👍 I listened to a lecture in this venue. The acoustics were wonderful. The decor and ambiance are so beautiful, you should show up early just to stare for a while so you're not distracted during your event. Event. Parking lot is a little small, but there is plenty of adjacent street parking.
