Woodruff Place Neighborhood Walking Tour

Known as the city’s first planned residential suburb, entrepreneur James O. Woodruff created Woodruff Place in 1872, an upscale, park-like neighborhood with stately homes and tree-lined esplanades that remains largely intact today. On a 90-minute guided 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.
