The Legacy Walk at Roberts Settlement, a self-guided outdoor experience that tells the story of Indiana’s Black pioneers who settled in northern Hamilton County in the 1830s, will hold its public grand opening Thursday, October 3 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
An accessible walking path, beginning at the Indiana State Historical Marker and looping through the west-side of the Chapel, provides the means for a self-guided journey through Roberts Settlement’s Black pioneer history as well as a peaceful place for reflection. Visitors are greeted by “Morning Light,” a dazzling entry feature symbolizing exploration, discovery, opportunity, and hope. Beyond, the Legacy Walk takes visitors through four separate interpretive- themed stations: Roots & Migration, Progress & Perseverance, Faith & Reverence and Legacy & Footprints. Each station includes a title monolith, a bench, and a graphic reader rail with interpretive content. Structures are fabricated from Corten-style steel and faux stone. The Roberts Settlement Legacy Walk, as well as the surrounding grounds, will be a public space to enjoy and embrace the rich history of Hamilton County, Indiana’s Black pioneers.
