Review:
The Indiana State Soldiers and Sailors Monument is Indiana's most-recognizable monument, standing more than 284 feet above the city's Monument Circle traffic circle and retail district within Indianapolis' downtown region. The monument was designed by architect Bruno Schmitz and officially dedicated in 1902 following 13 years of construction, intended to honor Indiana soldiers in the American Civil War. Since its dedication, the monument has also come to popularly honor Indiana soldiers in other historical national and international conflicts, serving as the first United States monument dedicated to the everyday soldier. Visitors may ascend to the monument's observation level for a 360-degree view of the city Wednesdays through Sundays during business hours between May and October, with limited operation hours during the winter months.
