There are 3 aerial views available of 6700 Fall Creek Boulevard, Indianapolis, Indiana. View #1 is a simple drawing showing the locations of the buildings. This view represents how the property looked around 1960. The other 2 views are will take you to a link at IUPUI (Indiana, Purdue, Indianapolis Campus). Here you can see an actual picture of the park as it looks today and a picture of the property in 1937. If you zoom the 1937 view you can compare it to View #1. You should be able to make out some of the buildings such as the cow barn, house, and swimming pool. If you would like a tour of the park, I would be glad to do that. I live in Indianapolis and I am a former employee of Skiles Test. I worked there during the early 60's. Feel free to contact me.

I found this site on a bing.com search. I have been walking my dog and running through Skiles Test Nature Park for 3 or 4 years now. I hadn't been over there for a couple of months and just went this morning. I noticed that there are some works of art of a sort up there, and there was also a log sign in some fencework that said something about exploring the farm and Skiles Test Estate Tours. I was just curious as to who did it and if it was a project of some sort. In any event, I enjoyed the walk though this morning, and was just curious.
Have a great day!
Peace, Lynn
