This summer, Indiana Landmarks affinity group Indiana Automotive explores Indianapolis on an all-day automotive-themed tour featuring two exclusive private car collections and historic sites tied to the city’s racing and early auto manufacturing history.
In the Riverside neighborhood, tourgoers will see the restored Boyle Racing Garage, saved from demolition and now part of a popular restaurant and brewery, Guggman Haus. On East Washington Street, get an inside look at changes underway on Indy’s stretch of the historic National Road with an exclusive “before” tour of the Cole Motor Car Company building, currently under redevelopment, and a guided tour of the former Ford Assembly Plant. A 2016 entry on Indiana Landmarks’ 10 Most Endangered list, the plant reopened in 2020 as The Assembly, housing offices, a restaurant, and apartments. The day includes lunch at Guggman Haus Brewing Co. and an end-of-day reception at Ash & Elm Restaurant and Cider Bar at The Assembly.
