All places have their own history that sets them apart from other states in the U.S. Some history may or may not always be rainbows and butterflies, but one thing is for sure, whatever happened in the past made them stronger.

The history of Indianapolis spans three centuries. Founded in 1820 and became the site for the new state capital by an act of the Indiana General Assembly. ( source: https://en.wikipedia.or)

I don't want to bore you with all the history of Indianapolis, but at least have an idea when it all started. 

Here are the first 5 of the Historical Places in Indianapolis.

The Victorian-era Morris-Butler House offers a rich, historic ambiance for small gatherings. Built-in 1865 by John D. Morris, an Indianapolis businessman. His family experienced financial hardships and sold the home to Noble Butler, a bankruptcy lawyer.

Now the Morris- Butler house can be rented for weddings, receptions, dinners, and other special events, educational programs, and small meetings. Rental spaces, furnished with antiques, include the formal parlor, dining room, and library. Refurbished meeting space is also available on the lower level.

2. Scottish- Rite Cathedral

The Scottish- Rite Cathedral was built between 1927 and 1929 designed by architect George F. Schreiber. The Cathedral is one of the largest Masonic buildings and has been described as one of the finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the United States.

 The main tower features a 54-bell carillon and rises 212 ft (65 m) above Indianapolis. It also has a floating ballroom.^[4] Other features are patterned ceilings, ornately carved woodwork, and stained-glass windows. The auditorium has 1200 seats and has been commended for the craftsmanship with which its fittings and decorations were made. It also has a large pipe organ. - source: https://en.wikipedia.org
