Indiana Attractions: Soldiers and Sailors Monument

Remaining at two hundred eighty four feet tall, the Indianapolis Soldiers and Sailors Monument pays tribute to Indiana's veterans. The landmark was initially worked in the mid 1900s to perceive Hoosiers who battled in the Civil War, yet it has bit by bit come to symbolize the penances made by the veterans of all wars. The foundation for the landmark was laid in 1889.A copper box inside the stone still contains a rundown of all the Indiana warriors who battled in the Civil War, duplicates of Indiana's state constitutions, an American banner with thirty-eight stars, and other critical things. The elaborate landmark, which is situated in Monument Circle, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in February, 1973.
