Since 1903 Fort Harrison
has played an important role in Indiana history. Although the Fort
was slated for closure in 1991, reuse of the land will continue
to serve the citizens of Indiana. In 1995 the U.S. Department of
the Interior approved the State of Indiana's request to convert
1,700 acres of the 2,500 acre post into a state park and nature
preserve. Fort Harrison State Park includes one of the largest tracts
of unbroken hardwood forest in Central Indiana, several small lakes,
three and one-half miles of Fall Creek and its tributaries, trails
and picnic areas. Now and in
the years ahead, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy recreation,
education, and leisure activities within this beautiful area.
