Sitting at Camping World awaiting for the refrigerator part and doctor appointments has made us venture out and about Indianapolis. Over the next two weeks I will share a few of our favorite places with you.
The Indianapolis Museum of Art, Just under four miles from the center of Indianapolis, was founded in 1883. The museum is located on one hundred acres and is one of the ten largest and oldest art museum in the nation containing gardens, art galleries and the museum itself.
If you visit Indianapolis in the first Saturday in September, Penrod Art Fair at the Museum grounds is a premier outdoor art show and sale.
Lucy and Ross wear us out when we take them there.
The mastodon skull exhibit.....The museum encourages
children to touch many of their exhibits, such as this one.
A couple of blocks south and one block west is Lucas Oil Stadium, the home of the Indianapolis Colts.
Taking the west route, you will arrive at the Indiana State House and Capitol Building.
Traveling west of the Capitol building for two or three blocks, you are going to find the NCAA headquarters and the Hall of Champions for all of you college basketball fans.
A June visit will provide the opportunity to attend and shop at the Indian Market and Festival.
When, not if you are ready to eat, here is a link to all the restaurants. We have frequented many of these places. Harry and Izzy's is one of our favorites and highly recommended. Just follow the link to see more of the places to satisfy your appetite and pocketbook.
Till next time and another tour of Indianapolis....God bless you and your walk in life.
This was a fun read. I enjoyed Indianapolis when I resided at Ft. Benjamin Harrison in 1968.
ReplyDeleteIndy has changed so much since Fort Ben Closed. Actually, most of it is now a state park. There is more to come in the next 2 weeks. Stay tuned.
DeleteLovely header photo.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having a trail at the Museum.
I didn't know Indianapolis offered so much to see. What an awesome area.
Indianapolis offers even more. In the next two weeks, I will share so much.
ReplyDeleteHi, Nan,
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who lives in Fishers which is a suburb of Indianapolis. I am hoping to get up there to see her one of these days so it's nice to have a snap shop of Indy. I wanted to buy something from Amazon, but your link is not working.
I have been trying to get this Amazon link working and am having a terrible time...no luck at all. Hopefully, when Amazon has working hours I can get in touch with them and get the link fixed.
DeleteFishers is about 40 minutes from us. Lucy's gymnastics is in Fishers, wo when we are home, we spend a lot of time there.
Who knew there was so much so see and do in Indianapolis. I was born and raised in Dayton Ohio and never once went to Indianapolis. Of course I never went to Columbus either until I went to OSU in college. No wonder all I want to do is travel. :-) Looking forward to seeing more. Love the idea of a Fort becoming a state park.
ReplyDeleteThere is even more to do. I think that it will take me all of two weeks to cover everything that I want to share.
DeleteEarly in our marriage, we went to Dayton for a weekend getaway. It was a lovely town and we had our first experience with soft pretzels there. Even went back years later just for the pretzels, but could not find the shop.
