INDIANAPOLIS — Plans are in the works to build an outdoor classroom at Holliday Park, named in honor of Susan Bayh, a former first lady of Indiana who passed away in February after a long battle with cancer.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett joined Susan's husband, former Indiana Governor Evan Bayh, and the couple's two sons at a memorial Saturday to unveil plans for the classroom.
It will be constructed at the Holliday Park Nature Center. They've planned seating for 50, an outdoor fireplace and gardens.
It is a busy park. It hosts more than 27,000 students, scouts and families in its education programs each year.
Former Governor Bayh says it's a fitting tribute to his wife's memory.
The Holliday Park Foundation is working with the Bayh family to raise money for the project. It's expected to open in the spring.
