Indiana Landmarks is the new name of Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana

Indiana Landmarks revitalizes communities, reconnects us to our heritage, and saves meaningful places. In 1960, alarmed by the loss of defining historic buildings in the capital city, a group of Indianapolis civic leaders created Indiana Landmarks. The organization established by those volunteers now ranks as the largest private statewide preservation group in the United States, with an Indianapolis headquarters and nine regional offices (including one in Terre Haute) staffed by professionals who help Hoosiers save and restore old buildings.


Check out the recently-released list of  10 Most Endangered Indiana Landmarks.
