Indianapolis Ambassadors

General Meeting at the Indiana War Memorial Museum
2025-06-04 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Indiana War Memorial, 55 East Michigan Street, Indianapolis, United States
All are invited. The Indiana War Memorial was built to honor the veterans of World War I. Today, through the Indiana War Museum, it also conveys the contributions and sacrifices of Hoosier service men and women from the Revolutionary War through recent peacekeeping operations and conflicts.
The War Memorial is inspired by a neoclassical design. It is similar to the Greek architecture of the fifth century. It is a square shrine structure with a pyramidal dome, and has Ionic columns. Its formally designed open spaces and its heroic monuments and statuary all contribute to its grandeur.
The main entrance of the Indiana War Memorial Museum is on the north side of the Memorial, which opens into a large hall with Tennessee marble floors and Art Deco Egyptian themes. The museum is housed mainly on the lower level of the monument.
Afterward, the group is invited to join up for refreshments for our ‘Out After’ at El Toros.
