The tour will highlight how historic landmarks became assets within the park including the 1916 Washington Street bridge, limestone-lined river promenade, 1870 pumphouse, Central Canal, and more.

The outdoor walking tour departs from White River State Park Visitor Center (801 W Washington St, Indianapolis). Groups will cover approximately one mile over the course of 60 minutes.
