As I was browsing through the flickr today I noticed this photo of one of the monuments that can be found in downtown Indianapolis. This is the Medal of Honor Memorial that's located on the canal in White River State Park.
Unveiled and dedicated Memorial Day weekend in 1999, the monument uses 27 glass panels, lighting and audio recordings to recognize those that have received the recognition for their valor in combat.
Discovering the Indianapolis history that's available throughout attractions like this is a great way to spend a day. Walking along the canal is a relaxing way to experience the city. The monument is located right on the canal behind the Indiana State Museum and borders Military Park to the north. Be sure and bring you own camera to capture the beauty of the canal along with your memories of the your trip to Indianapolis.
