Indiana Statehouse

Whether you love Indiana history, appreciate art and architecture, or geek out on civics, the Indiana Statehouse is a place every Hoosier should visit at least once. Yes I know, you probably went once on a school field trip. But be honest, you probably weren't paying attention through most of that, so it’s worth it to go again and really experience it this time.nnThe mature trees around the grounds are quite lovely, especially in the fall. And one of the sycamores located just south of the main entrance grew from a seed that went to the moon — THE MOON! Don’t’ believe me? Google “NASA moon trees.” Yep, totally true!nnThe building’s architectural elements are also really remarkable, both inside and out. Corinthian columns, marble floors, carved wood doorways, glowing chandeliers. Of course, the crown jewel is the glass ceiling in the rotunda. Happening beneath this colorful masterpiece, you’ll often find public demonstrations and gatherings about key issues for the state legislature. But as long as you’re quiet and respect that this is an important workplace, you can still walk around and enjoy the building even when they’re in session.nnI also think the building is interesting for its significance in our state’s government process. And as you walk past the house and senate chambers, you’ll also see beautiful statues and paintings depicting many of Indiana’s key historical figures. Definitely take a tour if you have time, you’ll learn so much!
