Indiana War Memorial and Museum

The crown jewel of the Plaza is the Indiana World War Memorial building. The Memorial building rises 210 feet above street level. A stepped pyramidal roof tops the vertical mass of the shrine. Small lantern windows are at the apex. Each side of the main building has six columns set high in the walls. Above the columns is a frieze with six large sculpted figures representing, from left to right, Courage, Memory, Peace, Victory, Liberty, and Patriotism.

The Indiana War Memorial also houses a FREE Military museum that portrays Indiana's military history from the Revolutionary War to modern times. Among the items on display are military firearms, uniforms, artillery, captured uniforms, weapons, and equipment, a Mexican War era bronze 6 pound cannon and limber, the battle control center of the fast attack nuclear submarine USS Indianapolis, a Korean War era helicopter, and a nuclear capable Navy Terrier missile, and a Desert Storm Humvee.
