Woodruff Place Neighborhood Walking Tour

Follow our lantern-carrying guides on a twilight stroll through Woodruff Place featuring extra spooky insights and haunting historic tales on Friday nights in October.
Known as the city’s first planned residential suburb, entrepreneur James O. Woodruff created the upscale, park-like neighborhood in 1872 with tree-lined esplanades and Victorian-era architecture that today feels straight out of central casting. On a 90-minute guided walking tour, learn about the neighborhood’s unique cultural and historic importance, recognized in 1972 when it became Indianapolis’ first neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This outdoor walking tour departs from Woodruff Place Town Hall (735 Woodruff Place East Drive, Indianapolis). Groups will cover approximately 1.5 miles over the course of 90 minutes.
Presented in partnership with the Historic Woodruff Place Foundation and Woodruff Place Civic League.
