WILLIAM OLIVER, CIRCA 1972

Local wines that continue to make history Our founder, William Oliver, was instrumental in passing the Small Winery Act of 1972, a bill that would allow for the creation of small wineries in Indiana. Four decades later, Oliver is the oldest, largest winery in the state and the most technologically advanced winery east of the Rocky Mountains.

We're committed to making the best wines from the highest quality fruit — wines that reflect the level of dedication Professor Oliver had from the very beginning. Our wine list has more than 40 award winning varieties, all handcrafted by real people who have adopted a winemaking passion all their own. Come taste for yourself. Forty-five minutes from Indianapolis, 10 minutes north of Bloomington on Indiana 37, with a new wine bar on the Bloomington square.

History Hoosier locales and attractions bring Indiana’s past into the present

but our storied past extends back much further. Native Americans and Mound Builders occupied this area for thousands of years before the first European settlers started to trickle their way west in the 1700s. These indigenous people lived in tribes that included the Adena, the Delaware, the Miami and the Potawatomi.

According to various historical sources, our state’s name logically derives from the native occupants the land was originally acquired from, meaning “land of the Indians.” Although the name was first coined

in the mid-1700s, it wasn’t until 1800 that Congress made it official when Indiana was legally incorporated as a separate entity from the Northwest Territory.

Today, cities, counties and organizations celebrate our Hoosier heritage with events, memorials and festivities that pay homage to some of the state’s most important moments.  Marshall County’s Trail of Death Miami, Delaware, Shawnee and Potawatomi were among the Native American tribes that lived in Indiana as far back as the 1700s.

Yet, through the first half of the 1800s, treaties dictated the forced removal of Indians from Indiana.

In Plymouth, a statue of Potawatomi Chief Menominee commemorates the Trail of Death march his tribe made between Indiana and Kansas in 1838, a more-than-600-mile journey during which many men, women and children died.

 The Battle of Mississinewa 1812 A search and destroy mission, the Battle of the Mississinewa was one of the major engagements fought during the War of 1812.

It marked the first offensive victory of the American army during the war in what is now known today as Marion, Indiana.

In September 1812, William Henry Harrison was put in command of the army.

His orders: Protect the western frontier and

recapture Fort Detroit. Harrison believed the Indian villages along the Mississinewa River were being used as a staging area for Indian attacks on his army.

The two-day engagement had cost the lives of 12 federal troops and another 48 had been wounded. As many as 45 Indians may have died in the conflict defending their lands.

The Mississinewa Expedition was the most successful of Harrison’s military actions in the fall of 1812. It eliminated the Mississinewa River area as a haven for The Battle of Mississinewa 1812 Future Reenactment Dates: Indian resisOct. 10-12, 2014 tance, restored the people’s confidence in the army, and secured the route of Harrison’s army for the recapture of Fort Detroit.

in 1816 to write Indiana’s state constitution and to elect our first governor; the capital later moved to Indianapolis in 1825. Corydon’s limestone Federal-style capitol building still stands, though, and after a stint as the Harrison County Courthouse, it became a historic site in 1930.

Corydon also holds the distinction of being Indiana’s only Civil War battle site.

On July 9, 1863, Indiana soldiers fought Confederate General John Hunt Morgan and his raiders in a short skirmish outside town.

The city has hosted a re-enactment each July for more than 50 years, but in 2014, the event will change gears to highlight living history displays and Civil War-era activities instead. For more information: (888) 738-2137; www.corydonbattlepark.com.

 Duesenberg auto history Although not quite on par with Detroit, Indiana does boast a distinctive automotive history all its own.

German brothers Fred and August Duesenberg started a car manufacturing company in 1913 in Minnesota, moving to Indianapolis in 1920 to be close to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and testing facilities. Here, they produced the Duesenberg Model A through 1927, but struggled with sales. In 1926, the pair sold their company to Errett Cord, who also owned the Auburn Automobile Company, but stayed on to create the Model J in 1929 (by far, one of the flashiest cars of its era and now a sought-after collectors’ item).

Lincoln lived on these grounds from age 7 to 21, moving to Illinois in 1830. During his time in Indiana, he attended log cabin schools, forming the foundations for a lifelong love of learning. His early education helped establish his strong beliefs in freedom and justice, and set the stage for a career in law.

Picturesque Shipshewana The views, the history and the festivals attracts visitors to northern Indiana year-round

W

ith a history entrenched in Amish and Mennonite communities, most visitors are surprised to learn that Shipshewana, Indiana, was actually named for a Potawatomi chief whose small band of Native Americans enjoyed the richness of the area long before there was a town. They settled around a picturesque lake, but the town itself began its evolution with the arrival of the first railroad line in 1888 bringing early settlers needing homes, businesses and industry.

The first Amish families came from Pennsylvania and settled in the area in 1841,

traveling by foot, wagon and boat. Mennonites arrived in LaGrange County in 1842, also attracted to northern Indiana because of the fertile farmland. Their influence has shaped Shipshewana into a small, quaint hometown with a respect for people of faith, family values and moral character.

The small community boasts just over 500 full-time residents but continues to welcome approximately 250,000 visitors from all over the United States, Canada and the world. The tourist traffic continues to grow from year to year, and the town readily supplies those who

visit with several large hotels, campgrounds, a visitors center, the Midwest’s largest flea market, antique shops and auctions, Amish crafted furniture, gift shops, and good old-fashioned down home cooking.

Several festivals throughout the year also invite guests to indulge in Shipshewana’s ambiance. The June 2013 Quilt Festival brought in thousands of quilters from all over the world to share, compete, and learn more about this craft that has maintained its popularity through the ages. The 2014 Quilt Festival will be held June 25-28. Shipshewana also celebrates its heritage and history with the Reminiscences of Shipshewana Festival.

In 2014, the festival will be held July 18-19 and will feature demonstrations of early trades, including a coppersmith, blacksmith, cobbler, wool spinning, basket weaving, a steam powered saw mill, plowing, as well as an old gas engine display. Hands-on activities for children will also be offered, giving them the opportunity to witness and experience history as they learn.

The

A BRIEF HISTORY OF

CARMEL, INDIANA

Carmel has been one of the fastest-growing, fastest-moving suburban cities in America during the past two decades. But that tradition of moving fast goes way back.

Back to the heyday of the early 1920s, when life was, literally, picking up speed. One in every seven American families owned a new-fangled auto-mobile, narrow gravel roads were being paved by the state and an inventor from Carmel decided it was time to address the “congestion” on Main Street.

The year was 1924 when Leslie Haines invented one of the country’s first “stop-and-go” traffic signals at the intersection of Main and Highway 31 (now Range Line Road), the heart of a growing community.

We call them traffic lights now, but back then, they were a novelty popping up simultaneously in cities across America.

Transportation – the movement of goods and people – has long played a part in Carmel’s history. Local rivers and streams made fur trading easier for our first settlers in the 1830s. Laying down tracks for the Monon Railroad in the 1880s created a vital link connecting Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville to smaller towns and five colleges along the way, helping us earn our “Crossroads of America” distinction.

Today, Carmel continues to be a leader in transportation with 80-plus roundabouts – the gas-saving, time-saving intersections that have replaced many of those stop-and-go signals (not to mention 4-way stops) throughout the city. No city in America has as many roundabouts and Carmel is recognized as a national leader in suburban transportation and environmental circles.

But let’s slow down a bit … hit the rewind button.

It was April of 1837 when the families who settled on this side of the White River in Hamilton County decided to get together and lay out a 14-lot map in order to form a new town. Not Carmel, but Bethlehem – the first name chosen by the settlers, made up largely

by Quakers who had moved here from the South. It was a shortlived name as the town leaders learned in 1846 that there was another town in Indiana – along the banks of the Ohio River near Louisville – that had already claimed the name.

So, they chose Carmel. And that name stuck.

The area was still pretty new. A few miles south, the new city of Indianapolis, created 15 years prior, was still taking shape. It did not take long for the new settlers to establish regular church meetings, a school house and a general store. Like much of Indiana at the time, Carmel was largely a farming community.

In the late 1800s, the beginnings of a small downtown area began to emerge alongside the tracks of the Monon Railroad. In 1883, a local railroad depot opened and remained in business until 1974.

It is now home to the Carmel-Clay Historical Society.

Roundabout interchange at 126th and Keystone Parkway

As Carmel rolled into the 1900s, a vibrant city took shape, its citizens enjoying a public Carnegie Library that opened in 1914, its first fire truck in 1921, a theater in 1949 (tickets were 40 cents apiece for adults, 20 cents for kids). In 1958, a new high school opened on East Main Street, where the campus still stands today educating the largest high school student body in Indiana.

Up until the mid-1960s, the slow, but steady growth of Carmel was not unlike most small towns in Indiana. As the passion for the American Dream of a suburban home in a quiet community captured the hearts of city dwellers, Carmel began to grow – fast.

In 1965, the state extended Keystone Parkway (known then as Highway 431) to connect the north side of Indianapolis to U.S. 31, a move that led to the further development of neighborhoods on the east side of Carmel and subsequent annexation, doubling the population. Attracted by reasonably priced land and the promise of a quiet community with good schools and very little crime, developers began to plat out future neighborhoods faster than town leaders could keep up.

At one point, in 1972, growth was happening so fast, local leaders ordered a halt to construction so the city could catch up with utilities and other town services. In 1974, local residents voted in a referendum to become a city with a mayor and a more localized structure to handle the residential growth.

Throughout the rest of the 70s, 80s and into the 90s, Carmel would grow much like any other suburb: Farms were purchased and turned into subdivisions, trees were cleared, roads were widened and paved.

And, just like other small communities, the spreading out of the residential population began to take a toll on the quaint little downtown that had once thrived alongside the Monon Railroad, which by then was just a memory with abandoned tracks.

When Mayor Jim Brainard took office in 1996 for his first term, he made the revitalization of downtown Carmel a top priority.

A big game hunting party in at 1914 Monon Station

City Center, including The Center for the Performing Arts, is the realization of that plan. Starting with the basics of building sidewalks and improving streets, storm sewers and water lines – he laid the infrastructure for growth. The Old Town area, which could not function as a modern downtown, was then redeveloped into a thriving Arts & Design District.

In 2002, after years of planning and development, the old abandoned rail bed of the Monon Railroad was cleared and turned into a paved trail that linked to a similar “rail-to-trail” in Indianapolis.

That development led to an explosion in the number of bikers, joggers and walkers who flocked to the trail. More importantly, it also brought local residents (and Indy visitors) into the downtown area, which further encouraged the creation of shops and restaurants.

Meanwhile, Mayor Brainard began mapping out a new strategy to make it easier for local residents to commute back and forth to work. Roundabouts began to sprout along roadways that needed help with congestion. Long stops at red lights gave way to sweeping circles that kept traffic moving safely, reducing injury accidents by 80 percent. The city also began to build more bicycle lanes and developed a broad plan to make the city as easy to navigate on two wheels, as it was on four.

One might ask where would all this traffic be going? Certainly many commuted back and forth to jobs in downtown Indianapolis, but thanks to the redevelopment efforts in Carmel, many local residents to want to stay in Carmel to work and play.

As the history of Carmel moves into the future, there is much excitement to see how the city’s newest major attraction – The Palladium and The Center for the Performing Arts – will continue to change the once sleepy suburb into a thriving edge city with its own solid reputation as a community on the move.

So hop on board for a fast ride to Carmel. And stay awhile.

Gallery News David Owsley Museum of Art reopens after major expansion

traveliN WInter 2014

ith more space and a new interpretation of the collection, the David Owsley Museum of Art on the Ball State University campus has reopened after an expansion that increased the galleries by nearly 50 percent.

The renovation, costing in excess of $4 million, adds four new galleries at the east and west ends of the Fine Arts Building. The new east wing is home to the Asian Galleries, which feature Indian, Chinese and Japanese art. The west wing houses art from Africa and Pacific Island cultures and art from Native American, Meso-American, and South American cultures. The expansion allows gallery space for these world cultures to

nearly triple in size from 1,300 square feet to 3,700 square feet.

“We are known for our excellent collection of American and European art,” Interim Director Carl Schafer says. “The expansion allows us equal exhibition space for non-Western works of art.”

The diversity of non-Western art at the museum has been made possible in large part by David T. Owsley, the grandson of Frank C. Ball, who was instrumental in founding the museum in the 1930s. Owsley is an art historian and active

collector. He began making gifts to the museum in the 1960s and since then has provided more than 2,300 works of art to the collection. His curiosity and his generosity can be seen throughout the museum that bears his name.

A piece of pie Pizza prodigies garner long-running reputations

The lure of a great pizza draws hungry patrons from well beyond the delivery area, and Hoosier home cooking has founded some outstanding pizzerias that have spent decades perfecting their delectable pies.

Mother Bear’s

When Ray McConn was 26, he thought he knew everything. He laughs at the idea now, but stacks of awards show he definitely knew how to run a restaurant.

Inspired by a job he had during college, McConn opened Mother Bear’s Pizza in 1973 in a drab building in Bloomington. The décor was dated; the dining room small.

That didn’t matter—Mother Bear’s focused on quality food and exceptional service, so much so that within a few years, the whole country noticed.

In 1982, People magazine named the pizzeria one of the top nine nationwide. After that, business quite literally doubled overnight and awards just kept coming: Best pizza in the city, the state … even in the nation.

Through the years, it hasn’t always been easy as pie for the founder. “You have successful periods and you have your dismal

periods,” he says, citing the rise of chain pizza places and home delivery in the ’90s as reasons for temporarily losing his appetite for Mother Bear’s.

That didn’t last long, though. Around 2001, he got the pizzeria back on track. By updating its marketing approach but maintaining the same original standards, Mother Bear’s has seen 20 percent growth annually for almost a decade. It pulled in almost $4 million in revenue last year—an unorthodox amount for selling pizza pies—and just finished expanding the dining room and bar.

McConn credits a wonderful staff for Mother Bear’s long-standing success. “It’s been fun, it’s been profitable, it’s been just a wonderful situation,” he says. “Every pizza that goes out is the best we can do.”

In 1969, restaurant mogul Steve Huse purchased a Little Caesars pizzeria in Bloomington. “It just looked like an excellent opportunity in a good market,” he says.

“There were just a handful of pizza restaurants.”

Then he opened another. And another.

His restaurants were so successful that the corporate office wanted control. One lawsuit later, Little Ceasers relented, and Huse retained control of his pizzerias.

He kept the décor, picking a name—Noble Roman’s—that still fit the theme.

Before home delivery was common, the Noble Roman’s dining room was the hangout of choice. After school, work or an IU football game, friends, teams and community leaders congregated at Noble Roman’s to unwind and socialize.

“It was just a place to see and be seen,” Huse says.

Silent films entertained patrons, and Noble Roman’s pioneered the concept of watching your pizza being made.

“We did it with very unique products—great products … in a unique atmosphere,” Huse says. “It was a great experience and a lot of people who went on to great success in their field were employees when they were in college.”

These days, Huse Inc. manages affairs for the renowned St. Elmo Steak House as well as for Harry & Izzy’s and 33 Arby’s restaurants.

Arni’s

Nearly half a century ago, Arni Cohen purchased a Lafayette pizza place. It’s where he worked. It’s where he treated his customers like family. It’s where his kids grew up.

Brad Cohen describes his father as a “living legend.” “He was so great

with people,” Brad says, explaining that growing up at Arni’s meant never meeting a stranger.

“I learned so much about people, human nature, being kind and caring,” he says. “It was always a lot of fun to be associated with a restaurant that had such a positive image in your community.”

There were only 25 to 30 restaurants in Lafayette back then, and Arni’s was a popular hangout. “We had entertainment back in those days,” Cohen says. “A piano bar kind of concept,” as well as comedy, bluegrass and jazz performances.

Notable acts included the Hager Twins of TV’s “Hee Haw,” Gabe Kaplan of “Welcome Back Kotter” and bluegrass musician J.D. Crowe.

Today, with a seating capacity of 430, Arni’s flagship location is one of the largest restaurants in Indiana.

Two brothers started the popular chain in 1958 in Kansas, but Bloomington businessman John Bender was an early partner.

Bender, using skills he had learned while working at an Indiana pizzeria, provided the sauce recipe that became a staple on Pizza Hut pizza. He, along with Martinsville resident Bill Peterson, later started a Pizza Hut restaurant in Martinsville, eventually selling the franchise to Pepsi.

Homegrown Small Produce Farms Yield Big Success

By Margie Monin Dombrowski, My Indiana Home Magazine

my-indiana-home.com

Where does your food come from?

»

traveliN Winter 2014

Shoppers ask this question more and more, and they desire food that’s fresh and grown locally.

But consumers also crave vegetables before they’re widely available in Indiana. Neil Moseley, owner of Pleasant Acre Farms in Clarks Hill, has found a solution to this quandary.

When Moseley and wife, Tashney, started their farm in 2009, they grew their produce on a single acre of land.

“It was basically a big garden,” he says. The operation expanded to 25 acres by 2012.

As the operation has grown, so has the growing season.

“We produce year-round now, which is difficult in Indiana,” says Moseley. “Most people aren’t doing that.”

Though summer certainly remains the busy time of year, Pleasant Acre sets itself apart by growing hydroponic lettuce during the winter months in an old swine-facility-turned-greenhouse.

The original hog building, Moseley says, was stripped of its concrete walls, metal ceiling, roofing and insulation. Wood framing was repurposed into its new framing.

Stretching a double-layer poly greenhouse film over the top and adding clear poly curtains on the side walls pulled the greenhouse together, while most of the electrical system and fans for the hog building were reworked to keep it cool in the summer and prevent freezing in the winter. Inside, they built large flat beds mainly used for producing kale, which is harvested constantly, and a float bed system for growing lettuce.

“We’re trying to find the one variety of lettuce that gives them year-round production,” Moseley says. “We probably went through 40 different varieties to find one we’re really keen on.”

The greenhouse also helped them start a bucket production system for tomatoes, which use a potting soil and compost blend.

“This allows us to get tomatoes to market seven weeks ahead of outdoor tomatoes,” he explains.

Heartland Premium Produce Heartland Premium Produce in Anderson also benefits from a greenhouse. Beth Scholer runs the wholesale vegetable operation with husband Eric, a third-generation vegetable grower whose father still farms 1,000 acres of corn and soybeans. Five years ago, they purchased about 30 acres that had belonged to Eric’s grandparents and built a 6,000-square-foot greenhouse on the property.

“We made it that size so we could grow enough volume for wholesale,” says Scholer, who sells to restaurants in the Indiana-Kentucky-Illinois area through a distributor in Indianapolis. About 1,500 pepper plants grow in the greenhouse, along with vine-ripened tomatoes.

“In Indiana, red and yellow bell peppers are usually available (grown outside) from early August through frost,” she explains. “In the greenhouse, we get colored bell peppers from mid-June through November.”

Colored bell peppers are sold at a premium, and the greenhouse allows them to control the setting with exhaust fans, circulation fans, heaters, shade cloth and irrigation—something they can’t do with produce grown outdoors. They can also control pests using an integrated pest management (IPM) system.

“Basically, it’s a very controlled environment and our insurance policy against weather and disease and pests because crop insurance for outdoor vegetable plants is very, very expensive and not readily available,” Scholer says.

Heartland has also grown lettuces, cucumbers, bedding plants and vegetable plants.

“We would like to experiment with other vegetables and strawberries, to get a jump on the market season, but that will have to wait,” Scholer says.

As a small business that relies mainly on family members lending a hand—or a green thumb—and some seasonal help, labor can be a struggle.

“There’s always more work to do than there are hours in the day,” she says.

Despite the challenges, Scholer says it’s worth it to keep the agricultural tradition alive. “[My husband and I] both grew up on family farms,” she says, “and that’s

how we want to raise our kids—having good, healthy food that we know how it’s been treated and how it’s been grown.”

Pleasant Acre Farms Back at Pleasant Acre, Moseley also believes in the importance of educating his three children about the food they raise.

“The ability to pass that on to my kids is very key in what we do,” he says. “They can probably tell you more about produce than what the average adult knows.”

He also shares that knowledge with members of the community who shop for Pleasant Acre produce at farmers markets or through his community-supported-agriculture (CSA) program.

“Buying local is more than a fad,” Moseley says. “People are curious about their food production because getting food in America has become very easy. The average person is now three generations removed from the farm. Now people want that connection back.”

Where to Buy Pleasant Acre Farms grows vegetables “from asparagus to zucchini and everything in between,” says Moseley. The “in between” harvests also include winter squash, melons, cantaloupe, edamame, green beans, okra, eggplant, beets, carrots and more. Most recently, beans and whole grains such as wheat, barley and oats were added to the mix.

Vegetables, picked when they’re vine ripe and ready to eat, are sold at local

markets the next day. Most of the harvest is hand-picked, except for beans and small grains, which are done mechanically.

Moseley also runs a 24-week CSA program, which allows people to subscribe for a box or basket of fresh seasonal produce each week straight from the farm.

“We try to have at least five different items a week in those baskets, and base it off [customers’] eating habits and how many people are in their household,” says Moseley, who’s also looking at branching out into selling frozen vegetables and stirfry mixes to extend product shelf life and prevent waste.

Signups for the CSA growing season close in March, but Pleasant Acre Farms has plenty to offer shoppers hungry To learn more about Pleasant Acre Farms, visit for fresh, local produce pleasantacrefarm.com or call (765) 918-0303. and grains during the local farmers market season, For more information on Heartland Premium Produce, which lasts from May visit www.heartlandpremiumproduce.com. through October.

Sweet Success

Indiana teen turns his family’s maple trees into a business

By Emily Tate

traveliN WInter 2014

The youngest maple syrup farmer in Indiana relies on a little planning and a lot of help from his family as he juggles attending high school, wrestling competitively and running his own business.

Bloomington’s David Ray first made syrup when he was 7 years old. At 14, he turned the hobby into a business venture known as StoneWall Maple Syrup, and now, the high school junior manages 275 taps.

His grandfather inspired him, Ray says, and when an aging Bedford syrup farmer decided to leave the business, “things just fell right into place.”

68

The name StoneWall Maple Syrup pays homage to his family’s farm, which includes a house built in 1864 and a barn just as old, the oldest log cabin in the county and, of course, stone walls surrounding the property. Maple trees abound in the area.

Ray taps somewhere between 100 and 150 trees. He harvested more than 3,000 gallons of sap last winter, but he notes that it takes a lot of sap to make syrup—that harvest yielded only 60 gallons of syrup.

• International tasting menu featuring anti-pasti, Italian desserts and cheeses prepared by Cordon-Bleu trained-chef and pastry chef.

• Extensive selection of fine wines and beer—imported and domestic.

• Indoor & outdoor seating, live entertainment on Fridays/Saturdays

“I couldn’t do it without the help of my family,” Ray says, crediting his grandfather, parents and siblings for their assistance.

Even so, as an acclaimed wrestler who competed at the semistate level last year, Ray doesn’t see a lot Where to Buy of downtime.

StoneWall Maple “Wrestling season Syrup is available at the Bloomington ends in mid-FebruFarmers Market. For ary,” he says, and the more information, weekend after that call (812) 322-8198. is when he taps the trees.

“It’s a lot of work with school,” he admits. “I do homework during downtime while cooking (syrup), but there are times when it’s busy.”

Ray hopes to stay in the business for a while, but he considers syrup-making a hobby rather than a potential livelihood. He sells homemade syrup at the Bloomington Farmers Market and is working to expand sales to local stores.

The Trails of

Marshall County There is no better way to experience the culture and history of rural Northern Indiana than by driving through the gently rolling countryside and discovering the trails of Marshall County. The trails include the Barn Quilt Trail, Chief Menomonee of the Trail of Death and the Art & Earth Trail. These three uniquely different trails connect the communities in Marshall County.

The Barn Quilt Trail The Barn Quilt Trail features a series of over sixty large murals painted in a variety of quilt patterns on barns, homes, and community buildings. No two are the same; they vary in size, color, and style. Many of the quilt patterns tell stories about family, history, and culture.

Chief Menominee of the Trail of Death While traveling along the Barn Quilt Trail, you will come across Chief Menominee of the Trail of Death. The Trail of Death starts at the Menominee statue south of Plymouth. Chief Menominee and his band of Potawatomi Indians were forced to move from Indiana to Kansas in 1838 and many of them died. On September 4, 1909, the State of Indiana erected the Chief Menominee Statue in remembrance of the horror the Indians were put through and as a memorial to the Potawatomi Indians.

Art & Earth Trail Unwind along the Art & Earth Trail, where the welcoming smalltown atmosphere soon puts you in a relaxed mood. You’ll quickly realize that Marshall County is far from the bustle of the city, when shop and restaurant owners take the time to visit with you.

Your journey begins at the Marshall County Visitor Center. Pick up a guide of Marshall County, a brochure of the Barn Quilt Trail with selfguided driving trails, and a guide to the nine Marshall County Art & Earth Trail members. Or find this information on our website.

A tradition that began nearly 80 years ago is still going strong at Pokagon State Park in Angola.

The men of the Civilian Conservation Corps Company 556 built a single toboggan track for their own recreation in 1935 while stationed at Pokagon. A year after its construction, a new slide was built and the curve was straightened out so riders could gather more speed. In 1938, the CCC built a 20foot tower for the toboggan and a second track was added in 1941. The park then decided to offer the toboggan experience as a park amenity because it was quickly gaining in popularity.

The track was refrigerated in 1971 and no longer needed snow to operate. Prior to the refrigeration, the tracks were kept cold with ice blocks cut from nearby Lake James that were shaved to fit within the track. Today, if temperatures drop below zero, park personnel may close the slide, but even on 50 degree winter days, visitors can enjoy the nearly 40-mph ride. A new adjacent warming center was built in 1986 while the slide was completely remodeled. Riders can warm up with hot chocolate and coffee while watching others enjoy a thrilling ride.

The record speed on the quarter-mile track is 42 mph and each ride takes approximately 30 seconds. Toboggans rent for $12.84 per hour (including tax) and hold up to four people.

The toboggan traditionally opens the day after Thanskgiving and remains open weekends through the last full weekend in February. Hours are 5 to 10 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. There are extended weekday hours during Christmas break. (Hours and cost are subject to change.)

For more information on the toboggan, visit www.visitangolafremont.org

“The fame of Wabash has been wafted upon every breeze and hurled from one point of the compass to another until every nook and corner in America has been reached. This is all because she is the first city in the world to be lighted by electricity.” – Fort Wayne Gazette, 1880.

On March 31, 1880, the City of Wabash made history!

Four arc lamps developed by inventor Charles Brush sat atop the Wabash County courthouse, as a crowd of thousands waited breathlessly for this momentous event.

At 8 o’clock, following the ringing of the courthouse bells, a burst of light shone forth from the pinnacle, and not a sound was heard from the crowd, as they were awed into silence. It was on this day that a small town in rural Indiana became the first electrically lighted city in the entire world. Today the Wabash County Historical Museum boasts first class exhibits featuring the county’s rich history with a spotlight on this record setting story.

Travel to northern Wabash County and learn about Oppenheim’s Department Store. Oppenheim’s was founded in 1875, in the town of North Manchester and was the oldest family-owned department store in the state of Indiana when it closed in the year 2000. Four generations of Oppenheims operated the store, one of 14 dry goods stores in town when it first opened. It became the largest department store in the area and was known especially for its value and customer service. The Oppenheims were respected community members, always ready to support civic ventures.

Today, the former store is the home of the North Manchester Center for History.

The museum retains original tin ceilings throughout, with vintage art-deco style floors and classic oak display cubicles. A special exhibit on the Oppenheim family and store includes over 350 pictures and artifacts from the family.

Oppenheim’s among other department stores relied heavily on the use of the railway to get quality goods delivered to sell and later become home to the Big Four Railroad hub.

Wabash County has a rich railroading history, with the first passenger train passing through in 1865.

In 1871, a local resident circulated a petition to raise the $25,000 to persuade the Big Four Railroad to build their shops in Wabash, and by 1872, they were a fixture in the town. In 1896, a large cut was made through the middle of a limestone hill (using only picks and wheelbarrows) to allow more trains to pass. Eventually the Big Four became a division of the New York Central railroad system, which built the historic 90+ year old caboose that currently sits in front of the Wabash County Historical Museum.

Oppenheim’s 50th Anniversary Sale, 1925

Wabash County is committed to preserving its rich history and has the ability to retell the epic stories of long ago with enthusiasm and splendor. To learn more about the county’s rich history and attractions, go to www.visitwabashcounty.com.

Wabash County information available at visitwabashcounty.com or by calling 260-563-7171

You’ll be just as amazed as the folks who witnessed one of the most incredible lightings in the world!

The Visit Wabash County Welcome Center & Gift Shop opened in April of 2013 after extensive renovation that transformed the historic building from what was once a livery office and boarding stable in the 1880s. Original architectural features have been preserved, including the original hardwood floors.

Wolf Howl Nights

110

December 1 through April 30; Saturdays Only wolfpark.org Visit Wolf Park in the evening, and see the animals in a whole new light. As the night falls and the air cools, the wolves get frisky, guests will have an opportunity to hear a more in-depth discussion of the wolf’s “trademark” behavior — the howl. They will have front row seats to a sing-along as Wolf Park’s expert wolf handlers enter the enclosure and interact with the main pack of wolves. Guests will be encouraged several times during the performance to howl and will be able to see and hear the wolves return the call.

Wolf Park prides itself upon being a world-class source of information about the management of socialized (hand-raised) captive wolves. Besides its wealth of husbandry information, Wolf Park has contributed to a large number of research projects.

Wolf Park participates primarily in behavioral research, including cognitive research. The fact that the wolves are handraised helps considerably, as this allows and encourages them to exhibit their full range of behavior in front of researchers (and visitors, too). Wild wolves are generally very difficult to observe for any length of time, as they tend to run away once they become aware of the presence of humans.

Past research projects have included investigations into howling, scent rolling, reproductive behavior, aggression, rank order, human interaction time lengths, pointing, opening apparatuses and feeding patterns.

Wolf Park currently has 14 wolves and two foxes that are socialized. The park also has nine bison and two coyotes, which are not socialized, but have participated in research.

Take a stroll through Jackson County history at the Jackson County Visitor Center, with an exhibit that celebrates the past and present. Sprinkled with interesting tidbits and timelines, the exhibit is filled with thought-provoking imagery.

Jackson County is a place with heart and a history all its own. The county is named after Andrew Jackson and was a territorial county almost a full year before Indiana became a state. There are small towns with names like Brownstown, Vallonia, Crothersville, Medora, Norman and even Houston. Would you believe that we have a Grammy winner/Rock And Roll Hall of Famer and a Miss America pageant winner? How about one of the most famous train robberies that ever happened in the United States? There’s a lot to know and a lot to explore.

The exhibit is divided into time sections, beginning with the founding of Jackson County; our connection with the Underground Railroad and the well-documented escape and capture of Alexander McClure; the importance of the railroads to Jackson County and south-central Indiana; the Reno Gang, who performed the world’s first train robbery; our history of agriculture; round barns and our famous covered bridges; World War II Freeman Army Air Field training base, including the Tuskegee Airmen; Grammy winning singer, songwriter and artist John Mellencamp; 2009 Miss America Katie Stam and Jackson County Today.

Guests can imagine themselves as a runaway slave, hiding in a wooden box to avoid capture or take a peek inside an 1860’s era jail cell, which housed one of the Reno Brother gang members. All of these experiences can be found at the Jackson County Visitor Center, housed in an historic freight house at 100 North Broadway Street, in Seymour. Peer down the railroad tracks and be transported to the days of yesteryear, complete with the occasional train whistle blaring through town.

While visiting our fantastic exhibit, catch up on all of the happenings in Jackson County, where we love festivals and small town happenings, including the Jackson County Fair, Brownstown Watermelon Festival, Seymour Oktoberfest and Fort Vallonia Days. Spend a day enjoying our self-guided agricultural tour and learn new things about John Mellencamp and his “small town.” Spin a pot at the Southern Indiana Center for the Arts and enjoy a delicious lunch at one of our many fantastic eateries.

This romantic town offers treats, traditions and winery tastings

T

he winter is a time to sit back, enjoy a glass of wine, snuggle into a cozy place and unwind. It’s also a great time to spend a few days in Madison. A cozy bed & breakfast, a private guest house or a luxury room at one of Madison’s hotels will chase the winter blues away.

While you’re there, take the time to explore some of Madison’s restaurants and cafes.

Choose a quiet gourmet dinner for two, indulge in some southern Indiana comfort food or share a sinful dessert. After dinner, step into a horse-drawn carriage for a romantic ride along the riverfront.

In February, surprise your sweetheart with a romantic getaway. Madison was named by the National Trust as one of the country’s Most Romantic Main Streets. Make sure to pick up a bottle of wine from one of the three wineries and a box of locally made hand-crafted chocolates.

In March, Madison celebrates its Irish roots with a downtown St. Paddy’s Party. In the mid-1800s, hundreds of Irish laborers came to Madison to construct the railroad incline. Completed in 1841, the Madison incline of 7,012 feet was—and remains today—the steepest grade of any line-haul railroad in the country.

Even though it’s winter, you’ll still find plenty of things to do in Madison. A brisk hike at Clifty Falls State Park will invigorate you and the scenery will inspire. Madison’s specialty and antique shops are open for you to explore, and there’s a variety of evening entertainment choices, restaurants to indulge in and wineries to have a taste. » for more info

regional theater destination in Bloomington, Indiana? Not exactly what you’d expect to find in a Midwest college town, but Bloomington is not your average Midwest college town. Home to the Bloomington Entertainment and Arts District (BEAD), a 60-block area complete with dining, galleries, specialty shopping, and live music venues, downtown and the greater Bloomington area boast a theater scene the envy of cities many times its size.

The oldest downtown theater company, Bloomington Playwrights Project, offers

up a changing menu of new, never-produced plays and musicals by some of the hottest writers working today, all in a cozy 90-seat space that has a distinctively Off-Broadway vibe.

Cardinal Stage Company, a relative newcomer to downtown, serves up regional theater-style work including the latest new work from New York and other regional theaters, musicals, classics and family-friendly fare in two downtown spaces, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater and the John Waldron Arts Center. Theatre goers can also enjoy shows

WonderLab mirror mysteries.

Is it magic, or is it science? Explore the surprising tricks mirrors can play on your brain with the special exhibition Mirror Mysteries: Science of Reflection, now on display at WonderLab. The exhibit offers unexpected experiences like “seeing” your head on a platter on a table while your body is nowhere to been seen under the table, or your body “flying” above the ground even though you are firmly standing on the ground. Particularly tempting is a pile of money that isn’t where it appears to be when you reach out to grab it.

“This exhibition is all about taking an ordinary experience, such as looking into a mirror, and making it an extraordinary experience,” says Catherine Olmer, WonderLab executive director of the science museum. “You see images in places where you don’t expect them, or images that are distorted. It’s all about understanding how the properties of the reflection of light make this happen to trick our brains.”

The exhibition also includes a praxinoscope, which demonstrates how a rapid succession of reflections produces an animated image, a curved mirror that allows you to shake hands with yourself using just one hand, and a mirror walkway where you can see your own image repeated into infinity. Preschool children will delight in using periscopes for looking over and around corners, seeing their images distorted by concave and convex mirrors, and crawling through a mirrored kaleidoscope tunnel. Parents will be fascinated to observe how a flat mirror can reveal an important shift in an infant’s identity development.

Mirror Mysteries: Science of Reflection is made possible with generous support from the donors to the 2013 Exhibits Matching Campaign, Catherine Olmer, and g Orthodontics.

The exhibition is available through April 13. Information: wonderlab.org

ooking for a place for the kids to play out of the cold this winter? Cure their cabin fever at The Commons in Columbus. The centerpiece of this 5,000-square-foot indoor playground is the 35-foot-tall Luckey Climber, which will truly blow their minds—and yours! The playground features designated age appropriate areas for children 6 months to 12 years old and the best part is that it’s free.

While you’re there, marvel at Swiss artist Jean Tinguely’s sculpture, Chaos I. A kinetic assembly of locally sourced scrap metal standing 30feet tall, Chaos I is the noted artist’s largest work in the United States. It’s easy to see where it gets its name.

Twelve motors keep Chaos moving, clanking, spinning and dropping cannonballs throughout the day.

With all this activity, building up an appetite is a given. When it’s time to break for lunch, The Commons contains several on-site eateries to satisfy growling tummies—Puccini’s Smiling Teeth, Subway and Snappy Tomato Pizza—with other locally owned establishments nearby.

Spring Mill State Park

Barn Quilt Trail and The Log Inn

Southern Indiana is known for one of the most popular state parks in the state, Spring Mill State Park. There’s an interactive museum to hometown hero, Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom, who was one of the original Mercury astronauts in 1959. In addition, visitors can take a step back in time at the restored Pioneer Village. This historical recreation of an early 1800s settlement features a working grist mill and several historic buildings. Spring Mill State Park is located in Mitchell, nestled in the scenic hills of Lawrence County.

The rolling landscape in Gibson County is more vibrant than ever with a patchwork of history, patterns and color. More than 130 hand-painted blocks adorn structures throughout the county that can be enjoyed in a self-guided driving tour.

While you view these tributes to a historic art, stop for a visit at the Log Inn in Warrenton. Built in 1825 as a trading post and stage coach stop, it is officially recognized as Indiana’s oldest restaurant. You can even dine in the same original log room where Abraham Lincoln dined in 1844.

George Rogers Clark National Historical Park Vincennes is Indiana’s first city, established in 1732.

Today, visitors enjoy the numerous historic sites found here, including the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park and Visitor Center.

The massive granite memorial commemorates the conquest of the Old Northwest Territory and is the largest national monument outside of Washington, D.C. It is located on the site of the former British Fort Sackville, which was captured by Colonel George Rogers Clark and his army in 1779. vincennescvb.org

The Celtic Cross Just above the Ohio River on a picturesque hill in Cannelton is Blue Heron Vineyard. Here, you can taste and purchase handcrafted wines, meet the winemaker and look out over the river from the deck. See what is believed to be the largest “insitu” Celtic Cross carving in the world. The history of a Celtic Cross dates back to 8th century Ireland. “Insitu” means of its own stone. Greg Harris, a local sculptor, carved the cross within a stone that is natural to the hillside and worked 23 months to complete it. perrycountyindiana.org

Welcome to

Indiana’s Hometown Tucked away among the rolling hills of southern Indiana, there’s a place where life moves at a more leisurely pace. This is Indiana’s hometown and her First State Capitol, Historic Corydon and Harrison County.

The natural beauty that captivated the early settlers still remains, from wooded trails and lush forests to rich caves. That same scenic splendor inspired their valiant stand on the site of Indiana’s only Civil War battlefield.

Escape for a day or a weekend and you’ll find yourself planning your next visit before the first one is through.

Remember...this is Indiana!

Just 2 hours from Indianapolis.
