One unique feature you’ll notice is the magnificent dome that rises 238 feet high, adorned with intricate murals depicting pivotal moments in Indiana's past.
Next, we have the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, which stands proudly at the heart of downtown Indianapolis. Erected in honor of those who served during the Civil War, this monument holds great significance as it commemorates sacrifice and valor while serving as a gathering place for community events throughout history. Its impressive height—standing at over 284 feet—and detailed sculptures make it one of America’s most iconic war memorials.
