About this tour
Explore Indianapolis history at your own pace on a Crown Hill Cemetery self-guided walking tour. Created by a 6th-generation Indianapolis native, this app-based experience leads you through 29 graves across 500 acres of winding paths, monuments, and stories spanning 160 years of local history.
As you reach each stop, GPS-triggered audio and archival photos bring the cemetery’s past to life. Hear about a U.S. president, Civil War heroes, and literary figures whose legacies connect to the city’s streets and landmarks. Along the way, admire Victorian monuments and the 1885 Gothic Revival gatehouse, then take in views from Marion County’s highest point and the National Cemetery. The tour starts at the Waiting Station and can be explored during cemetery open hours; there is no human guide, so you set the pace. Audio-visual content is available through the app, with online or offline use described by the provider.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
