history ...

life with a splash of yesteryear

the center of Monticello. The courthouse had a clock tower that reached skyward for at least eight stories. This lovely landmark stood center stage for nearly 80 years. In 1909, Monticello became an incorporated city. Its first mayor was Thomas O’Connor, who built the historic stone mansion on Bluff Street.

In 1829, the first settlers arrived in Monticello and located on the west bank of the Tippecanoe River. Friendly Potawatomie Indians greeted the settlers. These Native Americans raised corn, pumpkins, squash and potatoes.

It was rich soil that originally drew settlers who came mostly from Virginia, New York, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In addition to Native American crops, they added oats, wheat and clover to the agricultural mix.

In the 1920s two events occurred that changed the character of Monticello. In 1923, Norway Dam, north of Monticello, was completed creating Lake Shafer. Two years later, Oakdale Dam, a few miles south of the city, was built and created Lake Freeman.

These two meandering lakes established Monticello as a major tourism area.

In 1834, the Indiana legislature created a new county named for Colonel Isaac White, a hero in the Battle of Tippecanoe. White County Commissioners selected a location for the county seat on the west bank of the Tippecanoe River. They named the city Monticello in honor of President Thomas Jefferson’s home.

In 1849, the Monticello Hydraulic Company was formed. It built a dam across the Tippecanoe River and the first industrial effort was the construction of a gristmill. A sawmill, a woolen mill and furniture factory soon added to the economic landscape.

In 1854, the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railway laid track in White County

and the population grew. New settlers came from Germany, Ireland and Scotland, seeking the promise of freedom and a new life in this rich agricultural and industrial environment.

In 1894, the cornerstone for a third White County Courthouse was laid. A year later, a new Bedford Limestone building dominated

On Wednesday, April 3, 1974, a devastating tornado swept through Monticello. The tornado destroyed everything in its path, including schools, homes, many downtown buildings and the beloved historic courthouse.

In 2014, city and county officials remodeled areas around the courthouse, focusing on Constitution Plaza. Memorial brick pavers and a county map are two of the features on the new plaza. e

recreation ... life with a splash of endless options

In Monticello, families and visitors can enjoy a total spectrum of recreational activities including water sports, hiking, boating, picnicking, baseball, basketball, soccer, football, softball, bicycling, running, fishing, hunting, walking, skiing, tubing and birding.

There are endless recreational options in marvelous Monticello!

The Monticello Parks and Recreation Department is the anchor for many activities.

The parks and recreation office is housed in the Anheier Building located at the Monticello City Park on South Main Street.

The Monticello City Park boasts both an upper and lower level. The upper park is an action-filled area. There is a lighted basketball court, fenced-in play area for tiny tots, baseball diamond and challenging playground equipment. Park benches, swings, and picnic tables welcome families to come and stay while children play. The park pavilions are in high demand for gatherings, meetings, family reunions, and birthday or anniversary parties.

The lower park level offers nature’s beauty in a secluded area complete with a meandering stream crossed by two rustic bridges. This area features a gazebo, walkways, and greenways. It is a popular site for portrait photography and bird watching.

Annually, the Monticello Rotary Club partners with the Parks Department on many projects including enhancing the beauty in the lower portion of the City Park. This is just one example of community commitment to an ongoing service project.

A park for all seasons, the Monticello City Park becomes a Winter Wonderland during the holidays. Christmas lights and lighted displays turn the upper park into a holiday greeting card as visitors and residents drive through to experience the season.

Located at Ohio and First Street, Voigt Park is home to a 25-meter swimming pool with diving area and a wading pool. At this location, the Parks Department offers lifeguard, first aid, and CPR training, in addition to swimming lessons. Voigt Park features lighted softball diamonds, sand volleyball courts, a basketball court, fitness stations, shelters, and a small playground.

In 2010, the City purchased property to fulfill the legacy of community leader, William (Bill) Altherr. It was Bill’s wish to create a familyoriented nature park for the community he loved. To ensure that dream, he gifted $638,000 to the Monticello City Parks & Recreation Department.

Altherr Nature Park, located on South Main Street, contains 18.2 acres of land. The area showcases natural grasses and a multi-use trail through the park. Since the park’s acquisition, there have been two volunteer cleanup days to remove debris from the park.

Eagle Scouts also have participated in three major projects – a tremendous help with the progress of Altherr Nature Park.

In the beginning of 2012, the Parks Department removed existing buildings and prepared the prairie area for seeding of natural grasses. Altherr Nature Park’s development will continue with construction of the Butterfly Garden and an Outdoor Amphitheatre.

Bluewater Beach Park is located on the west bank of the Tippecanoe River. This park provides public access boat docks, and fishing piers. There are several small picnic shelters, grills, a basketball court, and playground equipment for park patrons. j

Completed in 2010, Jordan Park on Fisher and First Streets is home to Monticello’s Skate Park. This is an exciting venue for skate boarders, BMX bikes, and in-line or quad skaters. The park also includes a walking trail, playground and pavilions.

Ever evolving and improving, the city plans to complete a walking trail system which will include Tioga Park and the historic Tioga Bridge across Lake Freeman. A vision is that this trail system will connect with Delphi trails to the south and Monon trails to the northwest.

In 2010, the City of Monticello completed work on the Tornado Memorial Park located on South Bluff Street across from the White County Historical Museum. Featured in this area are original street lights, and the water fountain that sat by the Bedford Limestone Courthouse.

The Parks Department, together with the Monticello Union Township Library, provides ongoing classes and activities. The local National Audubon Society Chapter also provides year-round programs and outings.

Each season offers new opportunities to enjoy bird watching. From December to February, Bald Eagles nests are found on the

Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers. Each winter, scores of these majestic birds seeking open water for fish migrating into our area.

Each fall, this is one of Indiana’s greatest wildlife spectacles as the Sandhill Cranes visit the region’s shallow marshes.

The twin lakes area is a prime location for waterfowl migration. In early winter, migrating ducks also seek the open water. In the western part of White County, hundreds of American Golden Plovers make our area one of their critical migration stop-overs.

Boating and fishing enthusiasts find paradise on Lakes Shafer and Freeman. Boats can be launched from many privately owned resorts, public access sites, and marinas lining the shores of these great lakes.

In fall, Sandhill Cranes call overhead as they migrate south through the county. At the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, a short distance from Monticello, you can see approximately 30,000 cranes at one time.

The Shafer Freeman Lakes Environmental Conservation Corporation (SFLECC) is a not-for-profit corporation that holds title to property under and around Lakes Shafer and Freeman. The SFLECC is dedicated to the welfare and enhancement of the lakes. e

tourism ...

life with a splash of fantastic fun Monticello is a vibrant community offering all who come here the perfect opportunity to get away from it all. Monticello/White County annually shares its amenities and heritage with approximately one million visitors.

Because of the lakes, Monticello has dual identities … peaceful and fun. As the sun rises with a day full of promises, Monticello shows the serene and peaceful side of the lakes. The City is also friendly and energetic … bright, busy, crowded, fun.

Surrounding Lake Shafer and Lake Freeman are a grand array of businesses … bed and breakfasts, resorts, motels, hotels, campgrounds, rental cottages, bait shops, boat rentals, marinas and restaurants.

Because Monticello is a tourism community, we have opportunities not commonly found in communities our size.

While summer is our peak tourism season, the lakes offer year-round excitement.

Watching the seasons change on the lakes is a transition not to be missed.

Indiana Beach, an amusement park, is located on Lake Shafer with Indiana Beach and Ideal Beach RV Parks located near the amusement park.

In addition to thrilling rides, Indiana Beach offers unique shops, great eateries, and water sports. A ride on the Shafer Queen gives a view of lakeside living. j

For sightseeing on Lake Freeman, visitors enjoy the Madam Carroll, the largest licensed Coast Guard approved inland water craft in the State of Indiana. Throughout the season, this destination attraction features several scheduled dinners and music events. Each July, the Madam Carroll leads a Patriotic Boat Parade honoring America’s military personnel.

Premier golf courses are part of Monticello’s appeal to both residents and visitors.

Bordered by Lake Shafer, Tippecanoe Country Club (TCC) has served as one of White County’s oldest and most treasured attractions. Formed in 1920, it preceded the development of both lakes and the dams.

In 1961, the most important change to the golf course was made when famed Indianapolis architect Pete Dye helped install greens and tees to expand the course to 18 holes. TCC is meticulously groomed and considered one of the finest courses in Indiana. The course hosts a Pro Shop and is open to the public.

Founded in 1985, Pine View Golf Course has an 18-hole course, driving range, two putting greens and a Pro Shop. Pine View Resort has a 9-hole course and is home to Indiana Golf Academy which provides comprehensive instruction and access to several area golf courses.

business & industry ... splash into progress, possibility, professionalism and profit The City of Monticello/White County’s strength is found in its dynamic mix of industry, renewable energy enterprises, agriculture, small business, and tourism. The diverse industrial base represents national and international companies. White County Economic Development office with President Randy Mitchell oversees the economic development of the county. For more information, visit www.whitecountyin.org.

Mid-America Commerce Park In western White County, the Mid-America Commerce Park has excellent access to transportation infrastructure. The new Commerce Park is located halfway between Chicago and Indianapolis.

In 2014, White County partnered with Garmong Construction Services and

Garmong Development Company, LLC, an Indiana-based company, to provide project financing and single source design-building delivery of a 60,000-square-foot industrial shell building, expandable to 240,000 square feet.

The shell building is being constructed at the intersection of U.S. Highway 24 and CR 1200, approximately one mile east of I-65.

The new facility will be constructed of precast concrete to a clear height of 32 feet.

A Leader in Agriculture Annually, White County ranks among Indiana’s top producers in corn, popcorn, soybeans and hogs. Several White County businesses are connected with the strong agriculture presence in the county.

In Monon, Wabash Valley Farms manufactures the famous, patented stovetop Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper featured in America’s premier stores. ConAgra is located in Brookston and provides 95 percent of the popcorn for Orville Redenbacher and Act II Microwave Popcorn bags nationwide. White County Egg Farm (Rose Acres), a leader in egg production, is located in Monon. Grow Direct in downtown Monticello sells seed corn directly to farmers.

INMONCG14-5.indd 20

The electricity generated by Meadow Lake Wind Farm is sold on the regional wholesale market. The wind farm helps provide energy security to the United States by diversifying the electricity generation portfolio.

Carroll White REMC, along with Wabash Valley Power and Waste Management, made a commitment to support a valuable renewable energy source utilizing landfill gas at Liberty Landfill near Buffalo. Green Power is a biomass gas created when materials decay in landfills. Wabash Valley Power owns two generating plants at this site providing 6.9 megawatts of Green Power.

White County has two anaerobic digesters.

Bio Town® Ag’s Energy Center is located north of Reynolds. Digesters at the facility utilize manure generated from Bio Town Ag’s cattle feedlot and swine facility, along with other organic products, to generate methane gas. The gas is then used to power internal combustion engines to generate three megawatts of electricity per hour, which supports the BioTown® USA initiative of developing a community that is selfsustainable. The electricity is placed on the grid by Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) and consumed locally.

In the eastern part of White County, Waste No Energy, LLC, a company owned by RAKR Farms, developed a multi-million dollar anaerobic digester facility designed to renew energy and fuel the economy. In addition to producing clean, renewable energy that is purchased by NIPSCO, the facility’s digester converts a mix of manure and food waste to produce organic liquid fertilizer. j
