Why this spot
1880s-1920s Indiana Gas Boom railroad village
Railroad stop between Hartford City and Montpelier that served oil field workers and farmers during the Indiana Gas Boom, with a feed mill, grocery, post office, livestock station and a brick and tile mill. The end of the gas boom, the exhausted tile clay and the rise of the automobile emptied it.View source →
