Excerpt: Hartford City, Indiana began in the late 1830s as a few log cabins clustered near a creek. The community became the county seat of Blackford County. Located in the north east-central portion of the state, the small farming community experienced a 15-year "boom" beginning in the late 1880s caused by the discovery of natural gas. The Indiana Gas Boom caused the community to transition from an agricultural economy to one that also included manufacturing. The phenomenal growth ended after the boom, but the city was able to retain much of its workforce, as some of the glass factories and paper mills continued operations within the city. Jobs relating to the new automobile industry also became available in nearby cities. In the first half of the 20th century, Hartford City was able to attract several new manufacturers that became cornerstones for employment within the town, including Overhead Door and 3M. However, as the fortunes of the auto industry have declined in recent decades, so have the fortunes of Hartford City. Little Turtle, a Miami Indian ChiefIn the early 1800s, much of what would become the state of Indiana was still frequented by native Indian tribes. At least three tribes are almost certain to have visited the future Hartford City area during the 40 years before the town was settled, although there were no known permanent settlements in the immediate area. The three tribes are the Miami, Delaware, and Potawatomi. A fourth tribe, the Kickapoo, may have lived in the area before the 19th Century, and Hartford City has a Kickapoo Street named in that tribes honor. In the early 1800s, a settlement of the Munsee clan of the Delaware Indians was located about 19 ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=22994015 ... Read more

The Forgotten City

Chapters: Fountain City, Indiana, Westfield, Indiana, Levi Coffin, Underground Railroad in Indiana, Kersey Graves, Madison Historic District (Madison, Indiana), Levi Coffin House, Belmont Mansion, Town Clock Church, John Wesley Posey. Excerpt:Belmont Mansion Belmont Mansion is a historic mansion located in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania . Built in the early eighteenth century, the mansion is one of the finest examples of Palladian architecture in the United States. William Peters , an English lawyer and land management agent for the Penn family, bought the property, then a group of farms, in 1742. Peters designed and built the mansion in 1745 and planted formal gardens around it. As the American Revolution approached, the estate passed to William's son, Richard Peters, Jr. , who had been born there. Richard served as Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly , Pennsylvania State Senator and Judge of the United States District Court. An amateur scientist, he operated the estate farm as a working model of scientific agriculture. Many prominent figures in the Revolution stayed at the mansion at this time, including George Washington , John Adams , Thomas Jefferson , and James Madison . The property became part of Fairmount Park in 1869 as part of a program to preserve the quality of the water supply. In anticipation of the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876, a large dining pavilion was built alongside the mansion. Belmont was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, June 26, 1956. The site continued to be used for public entertaining until it became a historic house museum under the management of the American Women's Heritage Society in 1986. The complex is also available for special events and rentals. In June 2007, the Underground Railroad Museum was opened... ... Read more
