End of summer has us feeling nostalgic. Archive photos of Indianapolis take us back.

The end of summer always makes us a little nostalgic.

The kids are back in school, the Indiana State Fair is all packed up and we brace ourselves for colder weather with excitement about our favorite teams getting back at it.

This time of year we love going back through our extensive archives of photos that show the history of Indianapolis and Central Indiana, so we figured why not share that with you?
