Fort Harrison Walking Tour

Presented by Indiana Landmarks at Unknown

May 10 2018
Fort Harrison Walking Tour

Discover the history and architecture of a former fort in a park-like setting, repurposed as private homes, businesses, and restaurants on a walking tour led by Indiana Landmarks.

Just after the turn of the 20th century, the U.S. Army bought nearly 2,500 acres in what was a rural area outside of Indianapolis to create Fort Benjamin Harrison. The original 30 structures built north of 56th Street were arrayed around a horseshoe loop with the parade ground in the center, ringed by 400 maple trees. Officers’ houses were built in three sizes according to rank—all with spacious third-floor attic accommodations for servants—as well as barracks for enlisted men.
