The History of Herron Morton Place
The history of Herron-Morton Place is as rich and diverse as its architectural mix is today. In 1859, the Indiana State Board of Agriculture purchased this large segment of undeveloped land (then known as Henderson’s Grove) to establish a new Indiana State Fairgrounds. However, when the Civil War began, Governor Oliver P. Morton requested the area be used as an induction center for Indiana soldiers and renamed it Camp Morton.
After the war, Indiana reclaimed the fairgrounds. In 1890, the fair was moved “north of the city” to its current 38th Street location. Herron-Morton Place was then platted out and construction began for 280 residential lots. “Herron” was added to the neighborhood’s name to reflect affiliation with the John Herron and his famed School of Art. John Herron gave funds to construct a new building and museum on the south edge of the neighborhood in the early 1900’s.
