Whitley County Courthouse (Indiana)

The Whitley County Courthouse is an historic courthouse building located at Van Buren and Main Streets in Columbia City, Indiana, the seat of Whitley County. It was constructed in 1888, and is a three-story, cruciform plan, French Renaissance style Indiana limestone building designed by Brentwood S. Tolan. It has a slate roof and galvanized iron central dome. The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1979. Architecture A variety of prominent art works stand out on the Courthouse. Heads in Relief is a collection of limestone animal and figurative heads that are carved in a relief above the courthouse doors. Sculpted by Giere, the center features the image of a woman, possibly Liberty (22 x 16 x 18) wearing an elaborate headdress. To her proper right is a goose-like bird with its beak open and to the proper left is a wolf-like animal also with an open mouth. These pieces were examined as part of the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! survey in 1993 and their condition was described as "undetermined."

Bill Garrett Fieldhouse

The Bill Garrett Fieldhouse or William Leon Garrett Fieldhouse (formerly known as simply the Fieldhouse) is a gymnasium at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. It was the former home of the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team. History The Fieldhouse was built near the Men's Gymnasium for the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team. It was first used for the 1928–29 season. The first game at the facility was held on December 8, 1928, when the Hoosiers lost lost 31–30 to the Washington Bears. Branch McCracken scored the first point in the facility, with a free throw. The Fieldhouse hosted two national championships and four conference titles. It was the home of 20 All-Americans. The final game was played on February 29, 1960. In 2010, a women's locker room was added and the men's and faculty/staff locker rooms were renovated. In 2012, the facility underwent repairs following damage from a fire. The sports facility had been formerly named "Wildermuth Intramural Center" after Ora Wildermuth, a former university trustee who held "extraordinarily strong opposition to racial integration". The trustees had approved a recommendation to honor Bill Garrett, the "first black basketball player to regularly play in the Big Ten conference", by renaming the facility to "William L. Garrett-Ora L. Wildermuth Intramural Center" on February 20, 2009. However, the school announced four days later that it would not implement the change due to lack of support from Garrett's family. Eventually, in 2018, Wildermuth's name was stripped from the facility, and the trustees renamed the facility "Intramural Center". The facility was renamed to honor former IU All-American Bill Garrett in 2020. References
Wilkins Mill Covered Bridge

The Wilkins Mill Covered Bridge is north of Rockville, Indiana, United States. The single span Burr Arch Truss covered bridge structure was built by William Hendricks in 1906. The bridge is 120 feet (37 m) long, 16 feet (4.9 m) wide, and 13 feet (4.0 m) high. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. History Solomon Jessup and Zimri Hunt built a mill in 1835 upstream from the bridge site. George Wilkins later opened a store there in 1853 and a carding mill, operated by Solomon Jessup and William Hunt was also built. In 1855 Wilkins bought the mill but later tore it down and built a new one. This is the source of the name Wilkins Mill, however, in 1877 this mill burned down and another mill was built which stood until 1947. The 1874 Atlas of Parke County shows that the creek was named Mill Creek, but today it is labeled as Sugar Mill Creek. Sugar Mill Creek and Green Creek converge below the bridge and it would seem that after one flood the Sugar Mill Creek changed its course and left the bridge standing over a dry creek bed for a period of time. Looking at satellite picture now show that it appears the bridge is once again crossing water. This was to be the second of three covered bridges built by William Hendricks.

Willard Carpenter House

The Willard Carpenter House, located at 405 Carpenter Street in downtown Evansville, Indiana, is one of two landmarks recognized as memorials to one of the city's most influential pioneers, philanthropist Willard Carpenter. The other is Willard Library, which he built, endowed and gave to the people of the area. Willard Carpenter, born on March 15, 1803, at Strafford, Orange County, Vermont, was a son of Willard Sr. and Polly (Bacon) Carpenter, and a descendant of the Rehoboth Carpenter family. Construction on Willard Carpenter's house began in 1848 and was completed in 1849. It was built in the Greek Revival style. The home passed from Carpenter ownership during the Great Depression to Funkhouser American Legion Post. In 1956, they sold the property to WTVW. Medco purchased the mansion in 1974 and restored the home to as close to original condition as possible. Medco stayed in the home until 1985, when it was purchased by WNIN (TV). It now also houses the offices of WNIN-FM. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Yellowwood State Forest

Yellowwood State Forest, originally Beanblossom Land Utilization Project, is a state forest located in Brown County, Indiana, near the more famous Brown County State Park. The forest features seventeen different areas within Brown County, comprising over 25,000 acres (10,000 ha) in total. The name of the forest is derived from the yellowwood (Cladrastis kentukea), a tree seldom found this far north in the United States; it flowers here only every three to five years. The yellowwood groves make up only 200 acres (80 ha) of the park, although one tree has been planted by the forest office. The forest preserve was established during the Great Depression, when work crews from the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration built many of the structures still in use today. In 1940 the United States government leased the forest land to the state of Indiana, with Indiana being deeded the land in 1956. In 1994 and 1995 sixty-six additional acres (27 ha) of land in total were given to the forest. Recreation in the park consists of camping, hunting, fishing, and hiking. The Tecumseh Trail goes through the forest on its way to the state forest office for Morgan–Monroe State Forest; the trail was originally supposed to become a national trail, reaching from Canada to Florida. A twenty-mile-long (32 km) hiking trail, the Ten O'Clock Line Hiking Trail, connects Yellowwood State Forest to Brown County State Park. The 133-acre (54 ha) lake, Yellowwood Lake, is thirty feet (9.1 m) deep and was created in 1939. Hunting typically involves deer, fox, grouse, raccoon, squirrel, turkey, and woodcock. Many of the unpaved roads within the forest are dusty and narrow, and those driving cars within the forest will often have to ford creeks. One major mystery surrounds the forest. Large sandstone boulders, estimated to weigh about 200 pounds (91 kg), have been found in the tops of three trees: one eighty-foot (24 m) tall chestnut oak and two American sycamores, one of which is 45 feet (14 m) tall. Speculation as to how the boulders got there ranges from college pranks, tornadoes, ancient hunters to UFOs. References External links Yellowwood State Forest Official website
Zacke Cox Covered Bridge

The Zacke Cox Covered Bridge is east of Mecca, Indiana. The single span Burr Arch Truss covered bridge structure was built by Joseph A. Britton in 1908. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. History Zachariah M. Cox was born in almost due north of this bridge in Coloma in 1857. His father was E.T. Cox and his family was quite prominent in Parke County with various family members owning nearly 1000 acres of land near the bridge. Northwest of the mine is an old clay strip mine and coal and slate outcroppings can be viewed south of the bridge. This bridge, along with the Harry Evans Covered Bridge and the Weisner Covered Bridge, all built by J.A. Britton, lack the traditional Britton Portals. Instead, they have a more semi-arched portal that more resembles the Hendricks Portals of the Wilkins Mill Covered Bridge or the Rush Creek Covered Bridge.
