At 284-feet tall, it is hard to miss this stately monument, which stands in memory of thousands of Indianapolis residents who lost their lives in the Civil War. Visitors to this monument are invited to check it out, literally, from top (where the glass-enclosed observatory is housed) to bottom (in the basement that displays paraphernalia and photos relating to the war).
