Best Archaeological Remains In Indianapolis Near Me

4worldlovers: In partnership with Indianapolis City Market, Indiana Landmarks offers two ways to explore “The Catacombs,” the underground ruins of Tomlinson Hall, a building that once stood beside City Market.

Descend into one of the city’s most unique underground spaces, the Catacombs beneath Indianapolis City Market’s west plaza, as guides explain its place in downtown history. Tourgoers will not see bones or crypts, but they will get underground views of two historic landmarks: Indianapolis City Market and the cellar of Tomlinson Hall.

Along the way, hear stories of the two historic buildings and the events that spelled disaster for one of them. Participants will leave with a greater appreciation for Indianapolis City Market and the importance of ongoing historic preservation efforts.

Public tours are offered on select Saturdays through September. Tours last approximately 30 minutes and depart from the second floor of Indianapolis City Market, 222 E. Market Street, Indianapolis.

Purchase tickets online at citymarketcatacombs2023.eventbrite.com or using the form below.

On this adults-only (21+) twist of the City Market Catacombs Tour, bring a beverage from Tomlinson Tap Room and enjoy extended time in the space, including photo opportunities. Learn more and purchase tickets.

Please be aware conditions in the Catacombs limit accessibility and require participants to wear masks during the underground portion of the tour.

Due to one unavoidable flight of stairs and uneven dirt floors, these tours are not accessible for all guests. No wheels of any kind can be accommodated underground, including (but not limited to) strollers, walkers, wheelchairs, scooters, and roller blades.
