Military Park (Indianapolis)

Military Park is the oldest urban park in Indianapolis, Indiana, covering 14 acres (6 ha). It is located in western downtown Indianapolis. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1969. History The grounds of Military Park, originally called Military Ground, have seen various uses since the founding of Indianapolis in 1820. The first documented celebration of Independence Day in the city occurred at Military Ground on July 4, 1822. The United States Congress officially gave the land to the state of Indiana in 1827 for use in training the local militias. Prior to 1860, its greatest use for militia training was for the Black Hawk War in 1836. In accordance with the 1851 Indiana Constitution, the land that forms Military Park cannot be sold; only Monument Circle and half of the Indiana State Capitol grounds share this distinction. The first Indiana State Fair was held at the park in October 1852. The site continued to be used whenever the fair was held in Indianapolis until 1860 when the fair was moved to what would later become Camp Morton during the Civil War. Stalls and exhibition halls were built on the grounds for the fair, surrounded by a large wooden fence. The state fair made one last appearance on Military Park in 1863. During the Civil War, Union soldiers were encamped at the park. Governor Oliver P. Morton renamed the park Camp Sullivan, after the 13th Indiana Infantry's Colonel Jeremiah C. Sullivan. It was the first designated camp for the Federal army in Marion County, Indiana. However, this use severely damaged the grounds, due to the different troops entering and leaving Camp Sullivan, as it was a marshaling center. Following the war, efforts by local resident George Merritt started to improve the grounds, with the addition of a fountain and a small pool with a rock foundation of considerable size. Relics from the war and playground equipment were also added, as was a pavilion that still stands. William Jennings Bryan was notified that he would be the Democrat nominee for the Presidency of the United States on August 7, 1900. The two-hour rally was preceded by a march by the candidates from Indianapolis's Union Station. In 1916, the park was renamed Camp Sullivan Park. Between World War I and World War II, the park began to deteriorate. On October 28, 1969, the park, again known as Military Park, was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The park continued to deteriorate until 1980 when the Lilly Endowment and Krannert Charitable Trust granted funds for its improvement. In 1979, it became part of White River State Park. In 2007, the park's shelter house was renovated for over $700,000.

Miller station

Miller is a train station in Gary, Indiana, serving the South Shore Line commuter rail system. It serves the community of Miller Beach and is one of three South Shore Line stations within the municipal boundaries of Gary. The Miller community, now more commonly known as Miller Beach, is physically separated from the city of Gary and from other municipalities in Northwest Indiana by parcels of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. The national park's Douglas Center for Environmental Education and its Miller Woods hiking trails are 0.7 miles (1.1 km) north of the Miller NICTD train station. Station Layout The station consists of two tracks, each with one high-level platform located to the south. To the south of the platforms is a parking lot, with a secondary parking lot to the east. Adjacent to the east end of the eastbound (southern) platform is the main station building, containing seating, restrooms, and a space for concessions. History The station was served by a local streetcar line, the Gary and Miller Railway, until the 1930s. A new station shelter was constructed in 1998. Renovation On October 30, 2007, the executive director of the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission announced that the current plan calls for the Miller station to be closed at an undisclosed date. This plan was met with fierce opposition from Miller residents as well as commuters from other neighboring communities who use the station. Miller station commuters objected to being forced to use the new Gary central station. On August 12, 2008, Gateway Partners, the developers behind the new project, announced their intention to revamp their proposal in response to controversy. From 2021 to 2024, the station was substantially renovated as part of a larger project to double track the South Shore Line between Gary and Michigan City. The renovation added an additional track to the station and replaced the low-level platform with two high-level platforms (one to the south of each track), making the station accessible to passengers with disabilities. The renovation also added a new station building with seating, restrooms, and a space for retail, improved the existing parking lot, and added a new parking lot to the west of the station. The renovation also added a stub track to the east of the station, allowing short-turn trains between Chicago and Miller. This renovation is projected to be completed in mid-2024.

Muscatatuck County Park

Muscatatuck County Park, formerly known as Vinegar Mills State Park and Muscatatuck State Park, is a recreational park located near the town of Vernon, Indiana, in Jennings County. Formally opened on May 17, 1921, on land given by Jennings County to the state of Indiana, Vinegar Mills State Park was established as an 86-acre (35 ha) park. It was named for an old mill used to cut stone during the pioneer days along the Muscatatuck River. The name was soon changed to Muscatatuck State Park to reflect the historical Indian name given the river, believed to mean "winding waters". Aside from a small inn built from a brick house known as the William Read Home that acted as a bed and breakfast, and wood-floored tents, the property was seldom improved upon. It remained a highly forested area popular with travelers between Madison, Indiana, and Indianapolis. While a state park, it was the first to require no financial assistance from the state government, even though it never charged admission despite the strong belief of the founder of the Indiana state park system, Richard Lieber, that it should. However, during the Great Depression, both the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) made slight improvements to the property, mostly road work and a fire tower. The park contained Vinegar Mill (originally known as Stone Mill), a water-powered mill operated by an overshot wheel built in the 1830s but now in ruins. The mill cut building stones used for sills, caps, and steps. Stone cut by the mill may be found, as of 1962, in the Jennings County Courthouse in Vernon. An unnamed source attributes the name "Vinegar Mill" to the mill's apparatus supposed resemblance to a cider press. In 1962, the state park had an area of 260.60 acres (105.46 ha). Muscatatuck was redesignated as a state game farm in 1956, concentrating on raising quail and pheasant. In 1962, it had the first youth camp in Indiana meant for the general public, and not for convicted youth. In 1968, the land was returned to Jennings County, which operates it as a county park. Although its maintenance suffered for twenty years by a lack of funds, by the 1990s it saw an increase in funds, endowments, and community interest. The park contains almost 10 miles (16 km) of trails spread among five routes. Mountain biking is permitted on most trails, with three levels of difficulty available. Muscatatuck County Park is a separate entity from the nearby Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge. References

The Pennsylvania Railroad Station, also known as Baker Street Station, is a former passenger rail station in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana. The American Craftsman-style station opened to the public March 23, 1914, at a cost of $550,000. History The station saw its most heavy usage during World War II, when about 3,000 visitors passed through the station daily. The station was also frequented by politicians on whistle stop train tours, including U.S. Presidents Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower. Until 1957 a Grand Rapids originating branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Chicago-Florida Southland made a stop in at the station, and picked up passengers from a connecting Wabash Railroad train from Detroit, Michigan. Until 1961 the PRR's Cincinnati, Ohio-Mackinaw City, Michigan Northern Arrow also made a stop there, and picked up connecting passenger rail cars from Chicago. Until 1971 the Penn Central ran the Broadway Limited and several other Chicago-New York City passenger trains, Admiral, Manhattan Limited and Pennsylvania Limited through the station. In the second half of the 20th century, the station served as a stop on Amtrak's Broadway Limited (Chicago—Pittsburgh—New York) and Capitol Limited (Chicago–Pittsburgh–Washington) lines until November 1990 when Amtrak was forced to reroute about 25 miles (40 km) north of Fort Wayne. The nearest active passenger train station is Waterloo (for the Capitol Limited), 32 miles to the north. Today, Baker Street Station's concourse is used as a banquet hall and community events space, while the east and west wings have been converted into office space. Over the last decade, residents and local leaders have begun a movement to bring passenger rail service back to the city and station in the form of Amtrak or other high-speed rail service. Although the station has been without passenger rail service for over 30 years, it has remained a landmark to the city, designated a Fort Wayne Local Historic District in 1990. and later, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 as the Pennsylvania Railroad Station.
