Walking with History: Remembering Women’s Efforts

This final scheduled version of the tour highlights Hoosier women whose service during conflicts has often gone underrecognized, including female soldiers, nurses, and first responders. The two-mile route connects stories of bravery and commitment in downtown Indianapolis.

Plan for the walk

• The tour starts and ends at the History Center and may cross uneven roads and sidewalks.
• Check-in opens 30 minutes before departure; meet the guide in the Welcome Center lobby no later than 10 minutes before the start.
• Wear weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes, and bring water.
• Free parking behind the History Center is accessed from New York Street and validated for participants.

The tour generally proceeds in rain and warm weather. Flooding, thunderstorms, tornado conditions, or a heat advisory may cause cancellation; registered guests will be emailed at least two hours beforehand and refunded. Canceled tours are not rescheduled.
