Enjoy history as you have never enjoyed it before! Begin your visit in Conner Prairie's modern museum center. When you are ready, leave the 20^th century behind, and live a little history at the William Conner Estate, Pioneer Adventure Area and 1836 Village of Prairietown. As you round the path to Prairietown, you will hear the sharp ring of a blacksmith's hammer, smell the spicy scent of wood smoke, and participate in a thriving Indiana community of the 1830's. As the village residents go about their daily chores, you are encouraged to chat about "current" politics, family and town gossip. You will even have an opportunity to try your own hand at history at the Pioneer Adventure Area, enjoying activities such as spinning, soap making, wood working and pioneer games.

Step into the past as we tour the homes of three of Indianapolis' finest historical mansions: the home of President Benjamin Harrison, poet James Whitcomb Riley and the Allison Mansion, home to James Allison, the founder of Detroit Diesel Allison and the Allison Gas Turbine Division of General Motors and also one of the co-founders of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Built in 1875, President Benjamin Harrison's home is a masterpiece of Italianate Architecture. Sixteen rooms have been restored and are resplendent with many of the original furnishings and keepsakes. The former third floor ballroom serves as a museum in which many artifacts of the Harrison's professional and personal lives are exhibited. Authorities describe the Lockerbie Street Home of James Whitcomb Riley (also a registered National Historic Landmark) as one of the finest Victorian preservations in the United States. This home of the creator of Little Orphan Annie reflects a genteel life revolving around good food, good company and good books. The Allison Mansion built in 1911, was the home of James Allison. The Allison Mansion is a two-story home which stands on a bluff overlooking a system of ponds and streams. The magnificent foyer is just the beginning of a visit to a home full of grandeur. Some of the highlights include hand-carved ivory woodwork, gold embroidered silk side panels, a grand solid walnut staircase and, most spectacular of all, is the aviary or sunroom of white marble.

Indianapolis' proud heritage will be evident as you become familiar with our best known landmarks - Monument Circle, the State Capitol, the Scottish Rite Cathedral, City Market, the Children's Museum, Indiana Repertory Theatre, and Lockerbie Square (home of Raggedy Ann and Andy and Little Orphan Annie). Our downtown renovation has restored landmarks such as the country's first Union Station and the Soldiers and Sailors Monument commemorating the valor of those who served in the Civil War. New facilities in downtown are the Conseco Fieldhouse and RCA Dome. On the circle, you will see the first of the city's grand "movie palaces", the Hilbert Circle Theatre, built in 1916 and now the home of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest building on the Circle. Learn the significance of the "Little Church on the Circle" and marvel at the stained-glass windows in the style of Louis Comfort Tiffany. No trip would be complete without a stop at our most famous sporting locale, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. At the Speedway, we will visit the "yard of brick" start/finish line and the Hall of Fame Museum (housing one of the largest collections of racing memorabilia). If the track is not in use, you can experience the thrill of a lap around the track (at a much slower pace!).
