Saint Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church (Fort Wayne, Indiana)

Saint Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church is a congregation in the Indiana District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) located at the intersection of Barr and Madison Streets in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Founded in 1837, it is the second oldest Lutheran church in Indiana and the oldest in the northern part of the state. Thanks largely to its size and to the leadership of its pastors, it has long played a prominent role in Indiana Lutheranism and in the LCMS as a whole. The present church building was first completed and dedicated in 1889, but a 1903 fire forced a near-complete rebuild of the structure. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. History The congregation was organized in 1837 and erected its first church building in 1839, on the same site as the present building. Growth of the congregation led to a larger church building being constructed in 1847, with an addition in 1862. Although two daughter congregations branched off to form new parishes during the next two decades, it again became necessary to provide more ample facilities. The new building was designed by the architectural firm of Wing & Mahurin in the High Victorian Gothic style. By September 15, 1889, a large church had been erected. On December 3, 1903, a major fire left it in ruins. Reconstruction was soon underway, and by April 1905 it had been restored to its former glory. During the late 1940s the church underwent renovation and has had other improvements and enhancements as time went on. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 1, 1982.

Sanitorium Covered Bridge

The Sanitorium Covered Bridge is a bridged located east of Rockville, Indiana. The single-span Burr Arch covered bridge structure was built by Joseph A. Britton in 1913. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. History On March 8, 1907, the 65th Indiana General Assembly approved funding to establish and fund a State Tuberculosis Hospital or Sanitorium. By 1908 the State had appropriated land east of Rockville for the use of the State Tuberculosis Hospital. The Sanitorium was soon up and running in 1910. Originally built on the property of the State Sanitorium, located a mile or so downstream (39°45′57.6″N 87°9′40.7″W) from its current site, for hauling coal to the Sanitorium. The Sanitorium used coal, mined only a couple of miles away near Nyesville, for both heat and for its powerplant. This coal would have been hauled to Rockville and then east across the Plank Road Bridge to the Sanitorium before the bridge being built. The Plank Road Bridge was washed out in the flood of 1913 and was replaced with the Howard Bridge, also built by Britton the same year. Being on private property after the State sold the Sanitorium the bridge fell into disrepair. On July 30, 2008, the $1.34 million project to move the bridge to the former site of the Adams Covered Bridge was started. The Adams Bridge had been located about a mile upstream and had been built in 1907 by J.P. Van Fossen. In 1969 the bridge was destroyed by a flood where it washed downstream and under the Sanitorium Bridge. During February 3–11, 1970, the Jessup Covered Bridge was moved to replace it. Again in 1989 flood waters would wash this bridge downstream and under the Sanitorium Bridge and over the U.S. 36 bridge. By December 29, 2008, the bridge was open to traffic.

Indianapolis Raceway Park

Indianapolis Raceway Park (abreviado IRP; nombre oficial desde 2006 hasta 2011: O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis; nombre oficial actual: Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis), apodada la Pequeña Indianapolis o Pequeña Indy, es un autódromo situado en la localidad de Clermont, estado de Indiana, Estados Unidos. Fue inaugurado en el año 1960 y pertenece desde 1979 a la National Hot Rod Association. Varias de las carreras albergadas en el óvalo pavimentado de IRP, de 0,686 millas (1.104 metros) de longitud, sirven como teloneras extraoficiales de carreras disputadas en el cercano Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). El sábado previo a las 500 Millas de Indianápolis, el United States Auto Club disputa carreras de sus campeonatos en un evento denominado Night Before the 500 ("Noche Previa a las 500"). El USAC hizo lo mismo cuando la Fórmula 1 disputaba el Gran Premio de Estados Unidos en IMS, bajo el título Night Before F1. Desde que la NASCAR Cup Series celebra las 400 Millas de Brickyard en 1994 hasta 2011, la NASCAR Nationwide Series y más tarde la NASCAR Truck Series disputaron carreras de 200 vueltas en IRP los días previos bajo la denominación Night Before the 400. Desde el año 1961, la NHRA U.S. Nationals -la competición de arrancones más importante de la especialidad- tiene lugar el picódromo de IRP, que mide 0,833 millas (1.340 metros) de largo. IRP también posee un circuito mixto de unos 4.000 metros de extensión, que hoy utiliza el Sports Cub of America. En las décadas de 1960 y 1970, el Campeonato Nacional del USAC disputó carreras en ese trazado.

Scheumann Stadium

Scheumann Stadium (officially, the "John B. and June M. Scheumann Stadium"), formerly known as Ball State Stadium, is in Muncie, Indiana. It is primarily used for football, and it is the home field of the Ball State University Cardinals. The stadium opened in 1967, and it has a capacity of 22,500 for football games. History Anticipating rapid growth after transitioning from a teacher's college to a comprehensive college, the Ball State University Board of Trustees approved construction of a new athletic stadium one mile north of campus in 1965. The stadium was completed in 1967 with a capacity of 16,000 for football. It replaced the previous stadium closer to campus, on University Avenue across from Ball Memorial Hospital. The site is now used as a soccer field for Burris Laboratory School. A grandstand on the south end of the stadium was added in the 1990s, increasing the capacity to 22,500. In 2005, the stadium was renamed after Ball State alumni and benefactors John B. and June M. Scheumann. Today In 2007, a $13 million renovation of the stadium was completed. Planned improvements included new lighting for night games, enclosing the north end zone with lawn seating to create a 22,500-seat horseshoe-shaped venue, new concession stands, a brick facade, a larger press box, and private luxury suites. On August 29, 2013, a new video board was installed. For a time, notable Ball State alumnus David Letterman jokingly campaigned via his television program to have the stadium named after him. When the stadium was named after the Scheumanns for their donations to the university, Indianapolis mayor Bart Peterson joked that the city would rename the I-465 Beltway as the David Letterman Expressway. Indianapolis was Letterman's childhood home town. In 2026, the stadium hosted the Monon Bell rivalry game between DePauw and Wabash. Records Mean game attendance at the stadium was at the highest in school history in 2008, with an average of about 21,000 visitors per game. This can be attributed to the team's success, as well as recent renovations to the stadium. A school record 10,546 students attended the September 6, 2008 game versus the Navy Midshipmen. The game was televised nationally on ESPN, and Ball State won, 35–23. The all-time record attendance for a game at Scheumann Stadium is 23,861, set on November 25, 2008, when Ball State completed an undefeated regular season by beating MAC rival Western Michigan. The Cardinals won handily, 45–22, pushing their record to 12–0, but they lost to Buffalo in the MAC championship game and to Tulsa in the GMAC Bowl.

Shades State Park

Shades State Park is a state park in Montgomery, Parke, and Fountain counties in Indiana, United States. It is located 47 miles (76 km) west-northwest of Indianapolis. In 2024–2025, Shades received an estimated 125,000 visitors. History In the last decades of the 19th century, the area was a resort with a forty-room inn. In the 1930s, Joseph Frisz acquired the land in order to protect it. His heirs sold the land in 1947 to the holding company Save the Shades, which in turn gave it to the state to create Indiana's 15th state park. Originally, the area was known as the "Shades of Death". The original of the name is uncertain. Some say it was due to the way the trees cast their shadow on the ground below, making it look like a black forest. Others say it was because of a settler's death, although details are unclear and contradictory. Features Steep sandstone cliffs within the park were formed when Indiana was covered by ocean hundreds of millions of years ago. Fossils can be found on the nearby sandbars. Sugar Creek, which runs through the park, is too unsafe for swimming, but canoeing is available. Sugar Creek also runs through Turkey Run State Park, which is about 5 miles (8.0 km) to the southwest. The two parks share similar features including steep ravines, slate and sandstone valleys, and small waterfalls. The Silver Cascade waterfall is small, but unique, in that it is a convex waterfall. An excellent view of it and nearby Sugar Creek can be had from Lover's Leap, a small observation deck built out over the cliff. Indiana State Road 234 crosses the property, designating the boundary between the state park and Pine Hills Nature Preserve. Shades is also notable for previously having a small airfield called Roscoe Turner Flight Strip (FAA: 8I2), where visitors once could land their plane and then visit the park. It was 3,000 feet (910 m) long and 120 feet (37 m) wide. The airfield was shut down sometime between 1998 and 2003. In 2010, Shades Airport Road was built over the old runway. Pine Hills Nature Preserve Located in the eastern end of the state park, the 470-acre (190 ha) Pine Hills Nature Preserve protects the deep canyons formed by Indian Creek before it enters Sugar Creek. The primary feature in the preserve is the "Devil's Backbone," a 100-foot-high stone ridge barely wide enough for the trail to cross. The preserve was the first dedicated nature preserve in Indiana, and was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1968 under the name "Pine Hills Natural Area."

Shafer Tower

Shafer Tower is a 150-foot-tall (46 m) free-standing bell tower, or campanile with a carillon and chiming clock in the middle of the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. The tower was conceived and designed by Eric Ernstberger, co-founder of architectural firm Rundell Ernstberger Associates. This three million dollar project was completed at the end of 2001 and received final inspection February 2002. Breaking the record for the highest bell tower in Indiana, Shafer Tower is one of the couple hundred examples of carillon bell towers spread among the United States. Dedicated in 2002 to Phyllis and Hamer Shafer, Shafer Tower has become an unofficial landmark of Ball State University. It stands in the median of McKinley Avenue on University Green, the northern quadrangle of campus. A narrow staircase in the tower leads to the control room of the carillon, which has 48 custom-made bells. From here a musician can play the instrument on special occasions or for concerts. The bells are programmed by computer to play the Westminster Quarters to announce the time between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. One can also control the bells of the tower with a keyboard, which depending on how hard the keys are pressed, will make the bells chime louder. If manual operation is not desired, Shafer Tower is also ready to play over a hundred of already programmed songs. Due to a construction defect in the type of cement used to build the tower, the masonry on Shafer Tower had to be built twice. Though other courses of action were considered, it was decided the masonry, which was 50% complete, had to be taken down and replaced March 2001. Completion was delayed as a result, however Ball State University didn't have to pay any reconstruction cost. The architect of record was Edmund Hafer Associates of Evansville, Indiana.
