This museum is recognized as one of the most outstanding monuments of the world that symbolizes the history of both the city of Indianapolis as well as the state of Indiana. This is the official monument to the Hoosiers and it served during the hard times of Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Mexican War, The Civil War, the Frontiers war and the Spanish American War.

The lovely museum is mainly constructed with oolitic limestone from Romana which is a very rare material to be used in the region and also an expensive one. The museum has a collection of artifacts and sculptures that were either built inside the museum or brought inside. The main artifacts are the collections of “War and Peace”, “The Dying Soldier”, “The Homefront” and the 4 statues at 4 corners of the museum that represents Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery and Navy.
