1907 Military Park Indianapolis Indiana

A stack of Civil War cannonballs sits in Military Park, Indianapolis, originally called Military Ground. Established in 1822, this park has played a significant role in the city’s history. It served as a training ground for local militias and was a key site during the Civil War, where Union soldiers gathered and trained. The park also hosted the first Indiana State Fair in 1852. The undivided back (UDB) indicates that this postcard dates back to before 1907, when postal regulations changed to allow messages on the back of postcards.

Military Park still exists today and remains a cherished historical site in Indianapolis.
