Exhibition: From Monument to Monumental

As many Americans are trying to better understand the larger meaning and purpose of public memorialization, this Presidential Site bicentennial exhibit explores the origins and interconnections between two of Indianapolis’ most prominent monuments. From a groundbreaking and iconic tribute from the people of Indiana to the everyday soldiers and sailors who fought and died in service of their country, to a grassroots expression of a community’s gratitude and admiration for their friend and neighbor, the 23rd president of the United States.
