Brown County State Park Added To National Register

0

Brown County State Park’s recent addition to the National Register of Historic Places makes it the state’s largest historic district.

Listing as a historic district recognizes an area that has a high degree of historical integrity in its buildings, structures, and landscapes. To be eligible, a district is required to have been associated with events, developments, or people that were important in the history of the state or country. In addition, districts on the National Register must be at least 50 years old and look much the way they did in the past.

“It’s a great honor for our park to be listed on the National Register,” said Patrick Haulter, the park’s interpretive naturalist. “It really speaks to how important this park is, not only to the people who live here, but to everyone.”

The state park near Nashville, Indiana first opened in 1929. In the park’s early years, with growing interest from the public, several facilities were developed, including Abe Martin Lodge and overnight cabins. A large portion of the facilities work done shortly thereafter came via the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), whose members built many of the other existing buildings, shelters, roads, vistas, trails, and Ogle Lake, as well as the west lookout tower.

“Much of the CCC’s legacy is what is being honored with this listing,” said Ben Clark, cultural resources manager for the Division of State Parks.

CCC Veterans Company 1557 started its work in the park in 1934, planting forests of trees to help address the severe erosion on hillsides that had been cleared by settlers for timber years before the land was acquired by the state.

Now, with nearly 16,000 acres, Brown County State Park is the largest state park in Indiana and one of the most popular.

Indiana Landmarks staff authored the nomination, partnering with the DNR and supported by local preservation group Peaceful Valley Heritage. Researchers for the nomination documented nearly 70 buildings, sites, and structures that contribute to the park’s historical significance.

“The natural and built environment blend seamlessly at Brown County State Park, making it a place that is cherished by all Hoosiers,” said Mark Dollase, vice president of Preservation Services at Indiana Landmarks. “We greatly value our partnership with the Department of Natural Resources to recognize and preserve the park’s many important historic places.”

Brown County State Park is the sixth Indiana state park to be listed on the National Register, joining Pokagon, Mounds, Shakamak, Turkey Run, and Fort Harrison state parks. Several other Indiana state parks have individual buildings listed. Examples are Tepicon Hall at Tippecanoe River State Park, the Stanley Schoolhouse at Chain O’Lakes State Park, and the Lusk Home at Turkey Run State Park.

Brown County State Park (on.IN.gov/browncountysp) is on State Road 46 just outside of Nashville, Indiana.

Aces and Bears to meet on Friday and Saturday

 

Just one more weekend remains in the regular season with the University of Evansville welcoming Missouri State to the Ford Center for a pair of games this week.  The 2-game series will take place on Friday and Saturday evening with both games beginning at 6 p.m….ESPN+ and the Purple Aces Radio Network will have the coverage.

 

Setting the Scene                                                                                                           

– Evansville enters the final weekend of the season in 5th place in the MVC and hopes to clinch one of the top six seeds at Arch Madness while avoiding Thursday’s play-in round

– Missouri State comes to town with a 6-game win streak and boast the top scorer and rebounder in the Valley

– Facing a tough streak of playing the conference’s top four teams in consecutive series, the Aces look to finish on a high note with its final two home contests

 

Last Time Out                                                                                                           

– On Monday, Evansville and Drake wrapped up their series in Des Moines with the Bulldogs finishing with a 74-63 victory at the Knapp Center

– Evansville led by a score of 35-31 at halftime, but the Bulldogs rallied in the early minutes of the second half to take the lead for good…Drake outscored UE by a 43-28 margin in the final 20 minutes

– Playing over 37 minutes, Shamar Givance led the team with 17 points while Evan Kuhlman chipped in 16

– Joseph Yesufu scored 36 in the contest…in two games, Yesufu averaged 34 points

 

Looking Back

– The last time the Aces and Bears wrapped up their regular season at the Ford Center came on Feb. 25, 2012

– Evansville won in overtime by a final of 75-70 and forced a 5-way tie for third in the MVC standings at 9-9…by way of the tiebreaker, UE became the #3 seed and faced Missouri State in the first game and went on to take a 72-62 win in St. Louis to go 3-0 against the preseason MVC favorites

– A loss that day in 2012 would have slid the Aces to 8th place in the final standings

 

What Can’t He Do?    

– UE junior Shamar Givance continues to do it all on the floor…his average of 3 steals per game at Drake lifted his season average to a league-leading 1.6 per game

– He remains second in the league with 4.0 assists, 11th in scoring (12.8 PPG) and is tied for 8th with 31.6 minutes per contest

– After leading the team with 18 PPG in the Drake series, Givance raised his average over the last eight games to 14.4 PPG…his recent streak came on the heels of the series at Bradley where he scored a total of five points

 

Pinpoint Accuracy

– Jawaun Newton continues to shoot at an impressive clip and has converted 64.7% of his 2-point attempts since January 2… over that span, he is shooting 55.3% (78-141) overall, 64.7% (66-102) from inside and has shot 57% or higher on eight occasions

– While his accuracy saw a slight dip in the Drake series (8-for-21), his output remained strong as he averaged 11 points per game…in the opener, he tied his career mark with eight rebounds

 

Scouting the Opponent

– Missouri State enters the final weekend of the regular season with a record of 15-5 overall and 11-5 in the MVC

– Since a 70-50 loss to Loyola on February 1, the Bears have reeled off six wins in a row including a 68-53 win at Southern Illinois on Feb. 17

– The Bears are fourth in the conference standings

– MSU has the top scorer and the top rebounded in the MVC as Isiaih Mosley paces the league with 19.7 points per game and Gaige Prim leads the conference with 9.3 caroms

– Mosley is also the top free throw shooter in the conference, hitting 86.7% of his tries

– Prim is third in the Valley in scoring, checking in at 16.0 points per game
