Expert information on local historic sites, including many on the eastside.

Included are a number of our own near eastside treasures, such as Cottage Home and Woodruff Place neighborhoods, Brookside Park and Tech High School. The Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology researched and wrote the text. The National Park Service hosts the site as part of its Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary series.

The site is http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/travel/indianapolis/.

Our neighborhoods, including Emerson Heights, Little Flower and Irvington have done a significant amount of work to replace trees in the neighborhood. Tree plantings have been done with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Inc. and supported by volunteers.

Here is some excellent technical information about urban tree planting and preserving trees during development.
The documents are produced by the US Forestry Service and are very high quality.
