White River Conversations in Central Indiana

September 6, 2021

If you enjoyed the events along the White River in this year’s A Rising Tide series, head on out to a White River Conversation around Marion and Hamilton counties this fall, sponsored by the White River Alliance.

Historian Jordan Ryan, principal at The History Concierge, Indianapolis, will lead these one-hour informal programs along the river at seven park destinations. Throughout Indiana’s history, the White River has served as a source of drinking water, recreation, wildlife habitat, and greenspace in the community. The conversations will explore how the river either was impacted or sometimes ignored by the surrounding community as it grew over time.

While you are at any of the parks, visit the art canoe created by local artists through a project spearheaded by the White River Alliance to raise awareness about water quality along the river.

Conversation Locations and Dates

  • Sept 12, Noblesville (1pm @ Strawtown Koteewi Park & 4pm @ Potter’s Bridge Park)
  • Sept 26, Carmel (1pm @ River Road Park, 4pm @ Hazel Landing Park)
  • Oct 10, Indianapolis (1pm @ Broad Ripple Park, 4pm @ Riverside Park)
  • Oct 24, Indianapolis (1pm @ Southwestway Park)

Connect with the river through these conversations and artwork, then take steps in your home or business to protect it!
