Herron-Morton Place Neighborhood Tour

Each Thursday in May, Indiana Landmarks will stage an entertaining walking tour, turning the spotlight on a different historic Indianapolis neighborhood. The Preservation Month tour on May 12 visits Herron-Morton Place, an area that transitioned from a  Civil War camp and the first state fairgrounds into a residential neighborhood that is now a nationally and locally designated historic district.

The 90-minute tours involve a one- to one-and-a-half-mile walk led by residents of the neighborhood with Indiana Landmarks docents. Guides will tell the history of each area and its revitalization. You’ll see the range in house styles, get the scoop on average sale prices, and see the interior of one or more buildings. Indiana Landmarks presents the tours with Historic Urban Neighborhoods of Indianapolis and the neighborhood associations in each area.
