About this Event

Step back in time with us on Crown Hill’s most popular Heritage Tour, a fascinating journey through one of Indianapolis’s most historic and beautiful landmarks. This one-hour walking tour highlights both the famous and lesser-known stories of those laid to rest at Crown Hill. Along the way, families will enjoy engaging activities like Heritage Bingo, a scavenger hunt, and the chance to take in the stunning 360-degree view of downtown Indianapolis from the tomb of Hoosier Poet James Whitcomb Riley.

Extend Your Day
After the tour, families are welcome to bring a packed lunch and enjoy a picnic near the nature trails, followed by time to complete the scavenger hunt at your own pace.
