World War II Memorial

This is a self-guided architectural walking or biking tour from Walk Indianapolis. It includes many of the key major civic buildings, monuments, and memorials downtown.

This tour takes you from Monument Circle north to explore these impressive structures that pay homage to those who fought for our freedom.  You'll also see buildings like the Indiana State House, the Indiana Theater and Christ Church Cathedral. All of these with information given by one of the city's leading architects.
