Completed in 1888, the Indiana State Capitol, also known as the Indiana Statehouse, is an architectural gem built in the Renaissance Revival style. It is centrally located in Indianapolis on West Washington Street and houses all three branches of government—legislative, executive, and judicial. Constructed of Indiana limestone and white oak, the building features an original German stained-glass window in the rotunda. It is the fifth government building in Indiana's history—the first was in Corydon, the original capital. Statehouse tours are free and run hourly on weekdays; self-guided tours are available on weekends. Of particular interest are the ornate interiors, including the House and Senate chambers and the Indiana Supreme Court. Construction began in 1880 and took eight years. The site was chosen after Indianapolis was declared the capital in 1825. Since its opening, the Statehouse has been a center of civic life and political decision-making in Indiana. Visitors from all 50 US states and over 100 countries have already toured the building. 🕰️ Building Hours - Monday to Friday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. - Saturday (on select dates): 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. - Sunday: Closed 🎟️ Tours - Guided Tours (Mon-Fri): hourly from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. - Saturdays (on select dates): - Full Tours (45 min): 10:15 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. - Short Tours (10-15 min): 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. - Self-guided Tours: available anytime during opening hours with a brochure - No advance notice required, except for groups or special tours

Carmel is a cycling paradise, where the bike lanes dominate all of the roads. Very good stop as part of the Monon trail.

One of the nicest stops I've seen on a bike path, with bathrooms and water as well as some bike repair tools.

Section of Eagle Creek Reservoir that is great for observing a variety of bird-life. The land bridge of Red-Blue hiking trail encircles part of the sanctuary for views all around.

The wetlands of Carmel Creek provide a great spot to observe local wildlife and the calmness of slow-flowing water. These wetlands are encircled by a boardwalk and has the paved Monon Greenway along it's north shore.
