Herron-Morton Place Park is located in the middle of the neighborhood on Alabama Street between 19th and 20th. A cornerstone project completed by the Herron-Morton Place Foundation in 2003, the park is an evocative tribute to the neighborhood’s history and spirit.

Visitors will notice a large granite boulder which was a gift by IPS School 45 in 1916 to commemorate Camp Morton, a prisoner of war camp during the Civil War. A bronze historic marker also identifies the use of the land during that time.

Baby’s is brought to you by the team behind the ball & biscuit on Mass. Ave.  We chose this spot at the corner of 22nd and Talbott St. for Baby’s because of the diversity and energy of the surrounding neighborhoods.  And we were enamored with the building’s history – including stints ranging from grocery store to drag-show venue.  Our vision for Baby’s is a casual, fun and approachable spot suited for families and b&b cocktail enthusiasts alike.  Our aesthetic gives a little wink to the past, and we hope to play a meaningful role in this area’s future.

Welcome to Provider Café, your Kennedy-King neighborhood hub for coffee, cocktails, and community. Nestled in the historic Tinker House, we offer cozy indoor seating or a vibrant patio for warmer days. Since 2018, we’ve been providing coffee, long drinks, and a place to gather for everyone.

Simply stated, we are hell-bent on creating great whiskey and paying homage to Indiana’s rich distilling history. As three Indiana natives, we brought West Fork Whiskey Co. to life to share our interpretation of America's native spirit with the world.

We create sippable, smooth whiskeys our way — always 100% Indiana from grain to glass. We toast to hard work and uncompromising dedication by paying respect to one of the best grain-producing states in America. At the end of the day, what matters most to us is being an Indiana distillery that produces whiskey that tastes great to you.
