The Butler-Tarkington Neighborhood Association is the oldest neighborhood association in the country. The Butler-Tarkington neighborhood lies within the northwest quadrant of the old city limits of Indianapolis, bordered by 38th and Meridian Streets and the old Central Canal. It draws its name from Butler University, which relocated to the district in 1928, and Booth Tarkington, a well known Hoosier author who at one time maintained his home in the area on Meridian Street.

Some of the outstanding assets of the neighborhood are the following:

  • The newly developed Maple Road (38th Street)
  • Christian Theological Seminary
  • Crown Hill Cemetery
  • Tarkington Park
  • Andrew-Ramsey Park

We are surrounded by:

  • The Indianapolis Museum of Art
  • The Inter-Church Center
  • Meridian Kessler Neighborhood
  • Crown Hill Neighborhood
  • Broad Ripple Village
  • Mapleton Fall Creek Neighborhood
