0

The City of Noblesville Fund, a fund of the Legacy Fund Community Foundation, awarded a grant of $2,000 to partially fund a 2012 student docent project to highlight cultural tourism in Noblesville. The grant will help the city and its partners continue its Preserve America program, which started last year.

“Thanks to Preserve America and Legacy, we will once again be able to help high school students learn and appreciate Noblesville’s rich history and bring that history alive for our visitors,” said Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear.

Starting later this month, high school students will give free walking tours of the historic Courthouse Square. The tours will depart from the Noblesville Visitors Center, 839 Conner St. Tour guides will highlight some of the rich history of downtown Noblesville, as well as explain the architectural significance of various downtown buildings.

In addition to the tours of downtown, this grant program also helps fund free tours at the Hamilton County Historical Society (located at 810 Conner St. in the Old Sheriff’s Residence and Jail), as well as the Indiana Transportation Museum inside Forest Park (701 Cicero Rd.) with paid admission. Tours of the Hamilton County Historical Society are available 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

For tour information and hours for the ITM, call 773-6000 or visit www.itm.org.

The Legacy Fund, an affiliate of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, has served residents throughout Hamilton County since 1991, transforming communities like Arcadia, Fishers, Noblesville, Sheridan, Westfield and all points in-between. The fund is committed to bringing neighbors together to address community issues and priorities, connect donors with their charitable interests and passions and make the act of giving a more meaningful and effective gesture for donors.
