Discover Indianapolis’s German roots at the historic Athenaeum, as guides trace the building’s evolution from a German clubhouse to a hub of modern urban life. Tourgoers will enjoy unique architectural features throughout the late nineteenth-century building, while learning how they reflect the founders’ “sound mind in a sound body” ethos.
Along the way, guides will highlight the Athenaeum’s connections to the Vonnegut and Lieber families and the mark they left on the streetscape, culture, and business community in a growing Indianapolis throughout the early 1900s. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the German American influence on the city and the importance of preserving cultural landmarks.
Indiana Landmarks presents these tours in partnership with the Athenaeum Foundation. Tours depart from just inside the building entrance on the corner of East Michigan Street and North New Jersey Street (401 E. Michigan Street, Indianapolis).

Take a deep dive into Indianapolis history at the Indianapolis Propylaeum, a Queen Anne-style landmark in the city’s Old Northside. Built in 1890 as a private residence, the building has served as a hub for arts, culture, and women’s leadership since 1923. On a one-hour guided tour with Indiana Landmarks, tourgoers will explore the main building, carriage house, and grounds; learn about the property’s preservation; and hear about prominent movers and shakers associated with the site over time.
Presented in partnership with the Propylaeum Historic Foundation.
Tours depart from just inside the main building entrance, facing Delaware Street (1410 North Delaware, Indianapolis). While the first floor of the Propylaeum is accessible to all, transitioning to upper floors requires climbing stairs. Questions? Contact tourism@indianalandmarks.org.

Be ready to capture the stunning view of the atrium from the balcony of one of the rooms on the sixth floor!
