    Preserving the Historic Road September 20 – 22, 2012 Indianapolis, Indiana Join us at the Crossroads of America! We invite you to travel along the Historic National Road to Indianapolis, Indiana for our next conference, September 20-22, 2012. Long known as the Crossroads State, Indiana has notable historic roads and scenic byway corridors including the Historic National Road, the Ohio River Scenic Byway, Indiana Historic Pathways, the Lincoln Highway, the Whitewater Canal, the Dixie Highway and the Michigan Road. Founded in 1821, Indianapolis was designed by Alexander Ralston, an apprentice of Pierre Charles L'Enfant. Nicknamed the Circle City, Indianapolis is centered on historic Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis -- one of the most beautiful civic spaces in America. In the early 1900s, as a part of the City Beautiful movement, the noted landscape architect George Kessler created a plan for parklands and boulevards throughout the City. Today, after forty years of progressive planning, we invite you to experience the historic sites, restored canals, public spaces and museums of downtown Indianapolis-- ne of the most dynamic and walkable cities in the United States. Over the conference’s three days of field workshops, education sessions, and special events we will present you with the latest information and policies for historic roads. The conference will be headquartered at Indianapolis’ historic Union Station -- a masterwork of the Richardsonian Romanesque style opened in 1886. Whether at the international, federal, tribal, state or local level, we welcome your participation in the dynamic conversation on historic roads that began at the first Preserving the Historic Road conference in Los Angeles in 1998.

  • The New Ideal: Reshaping Schererville
    The New Ideal: Reshaping Schererville An Honors Thesis (HO~~ C''Y. By )r(2 Jessica DeVries ~ Thesis Advisor Rod Underwood Ball State University Muncie Indiana 7 May 2010 8 May 2010 Graduation -- I ' U nder9rGd The jc 1-1"' ;l L}?- c1 , Z ~! Abstract: """('1)0 . .L IJf Schererville, Indiana could be considered a suburb of Chicago due to its proximity to major highways leading there and the number of people who live there and commute to the city. But Schererville still has an identity of its own. Nicknamed "The Crossroads of America" Schererville owns the intersections of Highways 30 and 41, once the Lincoln Highway and the Dixie Highway, the first two highways in the United States. However, the problem with starting a town around two major highways is that they divide the city into quadrants, forbidding pedestrian traffic. Schererville was built for the car. The Lincoln Highway no longer runs through the old downtown of Schererville, which has allowed some historic places to be preserved. But the downtown has no life to it, despite the recent construction of a new police station and city hall. My architecture studio design project includes the design of a recreation center in downtown Schererville, and suggestions for urban redesign of the rest of the town, with ideas from my experiences at home and from my participation in the Polyark World Tour. Careful planning could make the whole town more pedestrian-friendly. Pride exists in the town because of "The Crossroads ofthe Nation" claim, but it is one of the worst places to try to travel across.
