Back to the Future: A Mid-Century Modern Landscapes Tour

Mid-Century Modern houses often incorporate walls of windows, skylights, and other features that maximize views of surrounding nature, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. On June 4, our Back to the Future: A Mid-Century Modern Landscapes Tour highlights the inspiration, showcasing outdoor living spaces and mid-century landscapes at four private properties and Newfields in Indianapolis.

On the day of the tour, guests will need to check in at tour headquarters, located at Witherspoon Presbyterian Church, 5136 Michigan Road, Indianapolis, to exchange their Eventbrite tickets for a program and board shuttles to the tour sites. Shuttles will circulate between sites throughout the tour, so guests can spend as much time at individual locations as they want before boarding the next shuttle.

The tour will be held rain or shine and includes outdoor access only at tour properties. Some tour sites have stairs between levels and are therefore not accessible for those with mobility issues.

Back to the Future is presented by Indiana Modern, an affinity group of Indiana Landmarks that works to preserve and promote the best of mid-twentieth century architecture, design, and landscapes across the state.

Advance time-entry tickets cost $20/person; $15/Indiana Landmarks member; $10/Indiana Modern member. Day of tour tickets cost $25/person, and are available only at tour headquarters. We recommend buying tickets in advance for the best price and to attend at the time of your choosing.
