Essential Indianapolis As a native New Englander, I experience an autumn rife with applepicking, pumpkin patches, hayrides and fiery foliage. Spending a fall day back East is just the best thing ever. And yet, these same months in this Midwestern city are not too far off from what I love about home. Explore the region at top fall festivals (p. 16) and sip seasonal drinks (p. 18). Then celebrate the state’s bicentennial with us (p. 14-15). If you only have limited time to venture out, we can show you how, too. Example: Crown Hill Cemetery, for a quick bit of culture.

80 MINUTES IN: Who says cemeteries have to be creepy? This breathtaking destination commingles art, nature and history. It got its start back in 1863 when landscape architect Frederick Chislett moved into a cabin on the grounds. Today, Crown Hill is the country’s third largest cemetery, originally cobbled together with land from three farms. Famous residents range from President Benjamin Harrison to gangster John Dillinger; local notables include poet James Whitcomb Riley. More than 1,000 Confederate

Crown Hill Cemetery

soldiers and a dozen generals of the Civil War are also interred here. Nature lovers tread this National Historic Register site to spot deer, squirrels, raccoons, fox and red-tailed hawks and to examine more than 250 species of trees and

shrubs. Crown Hill also hosts frequent and fascinating public tours of the grounds on a variety of topics, as well as fun events like the Music Fest on Aug. 27, the Ghost Stories session on Oct. 1, and a concert series that runs Oct. 13-15 and 20-22. 700 W. 38th St., 317.920.2726

Oct. 1, 7-11:30 pm, for a vibrant celebration complete with live music from Indianapolis’ own The Doo! Band, food from local restaurants and Indiana-made beer, wine and spirits. You can even make your own party hat and strike a pose in the photo booth. While you’re there, be sure to check out the museum’s two bicentennial exhibits: “Indiana in 200 Objects,” a collection Bobby Plump warmup jacket on exhibit at ISM

of 200 iconic items, each signifying moments in Indiana history, culture and science, and “200 Years of Indiana Art,” works by artists from across the state. 650 W. Washington St., 317.232.1637. CIVIC HISTORY TOURS The city of Indianapolis was founded in January 1821, five years after Indiana became a state. To this day, the Indiana Statehouse in downtown

Indianapolis remains the center of state government. Visitors can take a Indiana Statehouse

tour of the building on weekdays, 9 am-3 pm, and Saturdays, 10 am-1 pm. From September on, explore the building’s brand new Bicentennial Plaza—also the final resting place for the Bicentennial Torch. 200 W. Washington St., 317.233.5293. HIT THE BOOKS Nowhere is the full weight of 200 years of Indiana history heftier than at the Indiana State Library. The library is a treasure trove for even the most casual history buff, with the state’s largest collection of genealogy records and as the official depository for county, state and federal documentation. On Oct. 22, the library hosts the Indiana Genealogy & Local History Fair, themed

“200 Years of My Indiana Home.” 315 W. Ohio St., 317.232.3675. HISTORY IN ART As art reflects life, naturally three of Indianapolis’ core cultural institutions honor Indiana’s bicentennial by looking back at

the talented artists and performers the state has produced over the past 200 years. The Indianapolis Museum of Art

(4000 Michigan Road, 317.923.1331) presents “19 Stars of Indiana Art,” paintings, sculptures, photography, printmaking and design by 19 artists with local ties. From Oct. 18-Nov. 3, Indiana Repertory Theatre

(140 W. Washington St., 317.635.5252) presents a special collaborative performance, “Finding Home: Indiana at 200,” created by writers from Lobyn Hamilton, Dark Fantasy, mixed media on canvas, 2001

across the state, that blends music, comedy and drama for a joyful look at Indiana history and fable. And, join the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (45 Monument

Circle, 317.639.4300) Sept. 24 for opening night of its 2016 season, a special pops concert honoring both the bicentennial of Indiana and the centennial of the orchestra’s concert hall, Hilbert Circle Theatre.

STATE FINDS Commemorate your visit to Indiana with souvenirs of which even the locals are proud. United State of Indiana is the go-to brand for Indiana-themed t-shirts, sweatshirts, tanks and onesies with incredibly fun and edgy designs—decidedly not typical gift shop fare. Also find accessories like hats and stickers, and home decor like art prints and drink ware. While there’s no brick and mortar location, you can check the website to find stores that carry these wares. www.unitedstateofindiana.com Take home a piece of Indiana history in the form of an ultracool bag, wallet or purse by People for Urban Progress. Each piece is made of fabric salvaged from the RCA Dome (former home of the Indianapolis Colts) and Super Bowl XLVI signage. Stop by the Fountain Square headquarters in Fountain Square or keep an eye out at local boutiques. 1043 Virginia Ave., www.peopleup.org Shop Homespun: Modern Handmade for a great assortment of quirky United State of Indiana t-shirts, PUP bags, and other interesting Indiana-centric accessories from earrings to coasters to cutting boards. Nearly everything in the store is handcrafted by Indiana artisans and the shop has an overall vibe of rustic yet contemporary design. 869 Massachusetts Ave., 317.351.0280, www.homespunindy.com For more information: wheretraveler.com

FOOTBALL CULTURE Ever since Indianapolis won the Super Bowl in 2007, built a brand new stadium in 2008, then hosted its first-ever Super Bowl in 2012, the downtown district has been injected with renewed enthusiasm for—and development around—NFL football. Now, any trip to Lucas Oil Stadium is accompanied by a rich array of dining, shopping and entertainment within easy walking distance. Home games occur Aug. 20 and 27, Sept. 11 and 25, Oct. 9 and 30, Nov. 20. For the full-immersion Colts experience, grab a bite before the game at Indianapolis Colts Grille (110 W. Washington St., 317.631.2007), hang out at the huge Fan Zone party outside the stadium gates before each home game, or check out the indoor/outdoor Colts VIP Pre-Game Tailgate at the Crane Bay Event Center (551 W. Merrill St., 317.800.5820). For a local angle, head to Slippery Noodle Inn, one of Indiana’s oldest bars, only two blocks from the stadium (372 S. Meridian St., 317.631.6974). Craft beer enthusiasts should swing by Tow Yard Brewing (501 S. Madison Ave., 317.638.9273), a local brewery three blocks from the stadium, to fill up on the good stuff before entering the land of over-priced stadium beer.

Fall Fests and Activities Make the most of autumn’s clear air and cool nights with these wonderful, family-friendly near-to-Indy activities.

• Celebrate the harvest season at Tuttle Orchards, where you can pick your own apples, sunflowers and pumpkins or meander your way through the corn maze. Plus, take a hayride tour of the farm to see animals and an up-close look at Indiana farm life. Fall activities are generally open Sept. 12-Oct. 31, but U-pick availability can vary depending on conditions. If you’re in town Sept. 10, check out the Caramel Apple Festival, the orchard’s official kick-off to fall. 5717 N. 300 W, Greenfield, 317.326.2278 • For even more fall fun, visit Waterman’s Family Farm during the Fall Festival that runs from the end of September through October. Visit the pumpkineating dinosaur, zip down the combine slide, make a scarecrow and even enjoy a pony ride. On weekends, visitors can walk through the vortex tunnel, ride the gyroscope and scale a rock wall. 7010 Raymond St., 317.357.2989 • To the west of Indianapolis, Parke County is particu-

larly proud of its signature covered bridges. Visit Oct. 14-23 for the Covered Bridge Festival and enjoy strolling through the cozy communities, each with its

own special oﬀerings to the celebration, from hog roast to antique shopping to apple butter. Get details and routes at the Tourist Information Center, 401 E. Ohio St., Rockville, 765.569.5226.

• What’s fall without a German festival? Indianapolis’ historic Athenaeum, which originally served as the social hall for Indy’s German immigrant community, hosts the family-friendly GermanFest on Oct. 8. Enjoy native music and dancing, a yodeling contest, wiener dog races, a Bavarian stone lifting contest and plenty more colorful fun. 401 E. Michigan St., 317.655.2755

WHERE NOW Indianapolis FOOD + DRINK

TOAST THE SEASON Autumn behind the bar means a shifting of flavors from fruit to spice, from spirits like gin and vodka to more boozy options like bourbon and rye. We checked in with a few local mixologists to see what they recommend as the season advances. Wrap up summer this August with a refreshing spritz or beer cocktail at Pioneer. This newer addition to Fountain Square enhances its beverage program with northern Italian and German influences. Beverage director J.B. Andrews recommends the Czech Radler, which combines pilsner with house grapefruit soda

One-stop food-and-fun brand that’s been making waves in Denver, Portland and Austin opens downtown mid-September. Punch Bowl Social is a hip blend of modern, industrial and Victorian flourishes and features upscale diner food, house-made milkshakes and, of course, shareable punch. Bowling? Arcade? Yes! 9 W. Maryland St.

Come And Get It This past June, Open Society Public House opened its doors in the heart of Indy’s swanky yet diverse Meridian-Kessler neighborhood. Brian Baker and team have combined Latino culture with an industrial vibe to create a part coffee house, part wine bar, part full-service restaurant. By day, customers can order up a single-origin coffee cortado with house-made cashew milk or kombucha on tap; plus, the kitchen prepares brunch Wednesday through Sunday. The dining room at dusk caters to South American tastes with inspired cuisine in both small-plate and entree-sized portions. Imagine rolling your taste buds around the antichucho de pulpo octopus with yam mash, toasted garlic and an olive-serrano emulsion. Or, perhaps, the bone-in pork chop with chorizo, queso Chihuahua, jalapeño lemon butter and spicy-cheesy aji amarillo potatoes. Not to be overlooked is the bar program: every wine is available by the glass, the worldly beer selection runs the gamut from Coors to Ritterguts Gose, and cocktails incorporate fresh fruits, bitters, shrubs and more. 4850 N. College Ave., 317.999.8706

and grapefruit bitters. 1110 Shelby St., 317.986.6761 In September, Hotel Tango Artisan Distillery bar manager Ethan Rodgers offers a creamy cocktail using root flavors. With Hotel Tango’s well-loved Golf Gin as the base, this cocktail has the buttery sweetness of carrot and yam, the heat of turmeric, a frothy layer of cream dusted with spice. 702 Virginia Ave., 317.653.1806 During October, capture the nostalgic bliss of sitting around a bonfire with the Smoke & Spice cocktail at Spoke & Steele. Bartender Adam Clute describes it as his fall approach to a margarita—rye, reposado tequila and amaretto layered with flavors like cloves, cardamom and allspice, laced with cedar smoke. 123 S. Illinois St., 317.737.1616 As the holidays near in November, Ball & Biscuit serves up a way to warm your bones. Try the Claret Cup, with red wine, maraschino liqueur, lemon, amontillado sherry, simple syrup and a splash of club soda. 331 Massachusetts Ave., 317.636.0539
