If you are looking for a fun and educational activity that allows you to not only connect with local history, but someone who really loves what they do and wants to share their knowledge and excitement, you need to check out Sampson Levingston's Through2Eyes.
Thanks to being grounded due to Covid, I haven't been able to travel like I usually do, so exploring local has been my only option.
Highlights/ Why you need to take a Tour:
+ It's honestly embarrassing how little I truly know about the history of Indianapolis and what really isn't taught about the state in the local school system.
+ Sampson's passion for history shows as he tells the stories, often accompanied with photos, during the tour stops. He is extremely knowledgeable and happy to have a discussion and answer questions.
+ Walk/Talk tours vary based on location (Indiana Avenue and Irvington) and time. During the NCAA tournament, a special Basketball themed Walk & Talk on Wheels was offered in the form of a Trolley tour or on a Pacer's Bikeshare Bike. The Bike tour was fun, but a bit more of a challenge, due to the fact I couldn't remember the last time I was on a bike.
+ Ticketing is done through Eventbrite and reasonably priced; however, beware, there is a slight minimal fee due to Eventbrite's system
+ Tour is about an 1.5- 2 hours, based on questions
+ During tour during Covid times, everyone wore masks and kept to the recommended social distance read more
