Delaware Street, Old Northside Historic District
Two-hour tours depart every 15 minutes from 1500 Delaware Street (Indiana Humanities) between 4 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.
Join Indiana Landmarks for an evening of spooky fun on a guided walking tour of Delaware Street in Indianapolis’s Old Northside Historic District, a neighborhood where some of the city’s most prominent residents built grand homes, churches, and society halls that still stand today. Trick-or-treat at designated stops, and hear guides share stories ranging from true crime and local lore to spooky architecture and truly scary renovations.
The guided tour features a look inside multiple building interiors on Delaware Street, including the 1903 Meredith Nicholson House, where the Hoosier author penned his bestselling mystery The House of a Thousand Candles. Along the way, capture the spooky mood at photo stations, enjoy hot cider and seasonal treats, and participate in a costume contest with your group, if you dare.
Costumes are welcomed (but not required). This tour departs from Indiana Humanities, 1500 N. Delaware St., Indianapolis. Groups will cover just over 0.5 miles over the course of two hours.
Tickets cost $25/general public; $20/Indiana Landmarks member; $17/child (age 6-11); free for children ages 5 and under.
