Heritage Tour

Our most popular tour, The Heritage Tour, presents the history of Crown Hill Cemetery while visiting the graves of some of the many interesting people buried here, both famous and not-so-famous, recent and long gone. Various monuments will be seen, including some of our most recognized statues.

Tour participants will also be able to enjoy the stunning 360-degree panoramic view of the downtown Indianapolis skyline from the tomb of the famous Hoosier Poet, James Whitcomb Riley, high atop beautiful Crown Hill. This tour captures highlights from our other tours and is interesting for all ages.

This walking tour will cover about one mile at a comfortable pace.
