Check the website or call to get the most up-to-date hours. Tours start at the top of the hour, so make sure you plan to show up at the right time. Tours start from the carriage house next to the home - press the door bell or knock in order to be let in. Admission costs $10 for adults. Our tour guide Renee was fantastic! She shared tons of details on the history of the family as well as the architecture and decor of the house! She was a wealth of information and could answer all questions! This is probably the most detailed historical home tour that I have been on! You typically visit all 3 floors of the home, but we missed out on the basement due to time constraints. Well worth the cost of admission! Highly recommend visiting between Thanksgiving and New Years to see the home decorated magnificently for Christmas!

While Tony, Noel and I was Urban Hiking in Evansville we happened upon this gorgeous German…read moreArchitectural Gem. It is absolutely gorgeous. History: The Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse, often simply called the "Old Courthouse," was once the center of Vanderburgh County, Indiana government. Construction started in the spring of 1888 and was completed in November 1890. The building was ready to be occupied by the county government in early 1891.[2] It sits in the heart of downtown Evansville. The building was designed by architect Henry W. Wolters of Louisville, Kentucky and constructed by the Charles Pearce & Company of Indianapolis. The 19th century German Beaux-Arts architecture masterpiece cost $379,450 to buildCost Comparison: A $379,450 capital expense in 1890 would be roughly equivalent to $76,000,000 in 2011 If you are ever in the area you have to go check this out..put it in your GPS: 201 NW 4th St Ste 102, Evansville, IN 47708..It is a gorgeous building to be checked out.

The building has a great presence in the town. It is massive and the pink marble, wood working and iron works are all phenomenal. It was designed by Henry Wolters of Louisville, Kentucky and occupies a full city block in downtown Evansville and at its tallest point, 216 feet, the courthouse's bell tower dominates the skyline of Downtown Evansville. Both Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy gave speeches from the courthouse steps and it cost approximately $380,000 to construct in the last 1890's. In the late 1960's county government offices were moved and the building was almost torn down. However it has been revitalized and well worth the effort and cost to renovate. Well worth a trip to pursue the three story building and the impressive metal, wood, and marble artistry. Currently occupied by local businesses it is open to the public for self guided tours during normal business hours. we spoke to a woman coming out of her office on the third floor who provided us with a brochure of information on the history of the building. Great find.

There may be no finer labyrinth in the state of Indiana than the New Harmony Labyrinth, also known…read moreas the Harmonist Labyrinth. For those unaware of New Harmony, it's a small historic town located on the Wabash River that is considered part of the Evansville metro area but is actually located in Posey County. New Harmony has always had strong religious roots, usually of a more alternative nature, and was originally known as Harmony due to being founded by George Rapp and the Harmony Society in 1814. The Harmonists largely existed in three areas - this location along with Economy, Pennsylvania and Harmony, Pennsylvania. In each location, they built churches, homes, businesses, and a labyrinth. It should be noted that the existing labyrinth in New Harmony is not the original from 1815, but instead a 1939 recreation. It is constructed out of natural materials based upon an architectural drawing that was available in the Harmony Society archives. There's an amazing grotto in the center of the labyrinth that is a recreation of an existing grotto that still exists in Economy, PA. The Harmony Society believed strongly in the symbolism of a labyrinth and felt it to be a central part of their philosophy, beliefs, and practices as a commune. Indeed, the Harmony Society believed very much in communal living. The New Harmony Labyrinth is open from sunrise to sunset every single day and is free to visit. The grotto, while at the center, can be accessed through a series of gates for those not wishing to actually do the labyrinth - I will confess I have a hard time imagining not doing the labyrinth prior to visiting the rather amazing grotto. For labyrinth lovers, it may be worth noting that this is one of two rather magnificent labyrinths in New Harmony. As you can tell from the included photos, the New Harmony Labyrinth is a hedge labyrinth that has been somewhat updated over the years while keeping the core of its design. While not quite as wheelchair friendly as I'd like (the path is somewhat narrow), I still consider it to be Indiana's finest labyrinth and the surrounding community in which it's located maintains its deeply spiritual roots. I don't get down to New Harmony nearly often as I'd like. It's a terrific day trip - probably about 2 1/2 hours from Indy, but there's easily enough to do in New Harmony to justify a day's trip. If you need creature comforts for shelter, you can always slip over to Evansville. However, there's options here in New Harmony and when I visit I'm always glad I did. While most of us will leave COVID-19 and want to spend time around people, for those who appreciate quiet, meditation, prayer, and solitude, the New Harmony Labyrinth is one of Indiana's best kept secrets.

This easy to miss capsule is sitting on the grassy area right outside of Evansville four freedoms monument. I have no idea what was buried in this capsule in 1979 but I am curious. And unless some type of miracle happens I'll be long gone before they open this capsule up in the year 2176. So if Yelp is still a thing in the year 2176 and this capsule catches some news headlines, I'm going to ask the people of the future to update this Yelp page with some cool pics.

There isn't any signage about the piece giving a name or an artist.

The family and I always enjoy finding public art when visiting cities. Be nice if they had a placard on this piece describing its name and artist. Also I'm very curious as to why it's named "worlds largest". Worlds largest what?
