Treasures Flc1vor
We invite you to Come Enjoy Carroll County .. . nestled in the
picturesgue Wabash Valley, Carroll County is a bounty of
history and activity. We know you' ll feel right at home when
you come; you' ll enjoy a view of life in which people are linked together
tlu·ough a common respect for the land and each other.
Carroll County lies amid the waters of the Wabash and Tippecanoe
Rivers and Wildcat and Deer Creeks and takes its name from Charles
Carroll, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence.
In Delphi, the county seat, you will find exceptional architecture, the
County Historical Museum in the beautiful limestone Courthouse, and
ten miles of well groomed walking trails, a portion of which stretches
along a water-filled section of the Wabash & Erie Canal. Considered an
engineering wonder, the early canal system opened Indiana to immigra
tion and created an economic and cultural connection to New York and
New Orleans. Learn more about this area's history with interactive
displays in Canal Park's Wabash & Erie Canal Conference & Interpre
tive Center.
You can also take a trip over Indiana's oldest continually used
bridge, the 1837 Burnett's Creek Arch. A cut stone structure near
Lockport, Burnett's Creek Arch is a National Register of Historic
Places site. Lockport holds two other National Register sites,
Potawatorni Spring and The Burris House. This frame house served as
an inn in the 1840's while the spring was a well-known watering place
for Indians and early settlers.
In the southern part of the county visit the 1845 Adams Mill and
adjacent, fully restored covered bridge located near Cutler. Lancaster
Bridge, another Carroll County covered bridge, is near Owasco. All three
of these structures are on the National Register of Historic Places. For
sources of outdoor recreation, don't miss Flora and Burlington Parks or
the county's Deer Creek Park, near the town of the same name. While
you are there, take a look at "Sycamore Row," a stand of trees which grew
out of the ends of logs from a
corduroy road. Follow one or all of the
available scenic tours with your
automobile, canoe, or bicycle and see
all of Carroll County's beauty -
past, present, and future.

Adams. The mill is now a Museum ef Americana open to the public for tou rs on weekends and by special arrangement. The mill is a prime example of post and beam construction common to the 19th century agricultural structures in Indiana. No nails were used in the original framework, only wooden
during the tenure of nine owner s. Finely ground cake flour was a specialty of Adams Mill. Commercial milling ceased in the 1950s. Most original machinery is still operational.

Rural Architecture 1 t can be told from Carroll County by
ust looking at its rural architecture, from the one room school houses that
are found around the county, such as the Mullin School House, to the historic bridges and fine architecturally significant homes that have sheltered families for decades. The significance of agriculture in our communities can be seen by many rural features such as barns and corn cribs. A barn played an important role
in the livelihood of Carroll County farmers and many old barns can be seen around the county today including three round barns.
Many fine homes built during the 1800s still grace the county today. A walking architectural tom is available in Delphi and
Mullin School House 750 North 100 West, (open by appointment) 574-652-2663
our county can boast of 20 National Register listings - most notably our 1917 Neoclassical style Carroll County Courthouse.
TI1e courthouse is constructed of Indiana limestone. Inside you will find a mosaic floor of colored tiles balanced by a stained glass dome. The courthouse houses the Carroll County Historical Museum.
Carroll County harbors many fine historic bridges. Burnett's Creek Arch , built in 1837 is one oflndiana's oldest remaining bridges. The stone arch was originally built to permit the Wabash & Erie Canal to pass over Burnett's Creek. Many of our historic bridges are highlighted by type of structure and location on the map.

T:ransportation in Carroll County
has changed greatly in the last 188
years. Initially, it consisted of water travel on the Wabash or Deer Creek. Land
travel routes followed ancient Indian trails
through densely wooded forests. The first
roads were dirt paths barely wide enough
for a wagon and were lined with mud holes
and tree stumps.
The opening of the Wabash & Erie Canal in the 1840's connected Delphi to
cities and towns in the East and to towns
and ports to the south. By the 1870 's the
canal had given way to the steam
engines of the railroads. The crossing
of two major railroad lines connected
Carroll County to major cities in all
directions.
Overland travel evolved from dirt
trails to wood plank roads with toll
houses. First wood, then iron, and
finally concrete bridged rivers and
streams that were originally forded .
The first plank road was from Delphi to
Frankfort. Others soon followed. In 1877,
Carroll County further improved upon trans
portation routes by introducing gravel roads.
The next major change in transportation
was the introduction of the Interurban electric railway. These single car transports,
known as the Ft. Wayne &.Wabash Valley Traction Co., ran through Delphi and other small towns.
With the coming of paved highways, the old
Interurbans gradually gave way to motor busses
as the leading form of public transportation.
Paved roads have since replaced most of the
gravel roads in the county.
Today, you will see a contrast between past
and present. Carroll County is home to two
airports: the Delphi and Flora Municipal Airports, yet you may find yourself
sharing the road with a horse
and buggy.

Come Enjoy ... Carroll County
Outdoor Activities
D o fresh air and natural
beauty figure into your idea of a memorable experience?
Carroll County offers some of the most captivating outdoor recreation in the region.
Come enjoy CaiToll County and create your ovvn adventure with biking, boating, fishing, hiking, golfing, canoeing or picnicking in our beautiful countryside.
Cycling is more than a pastime, for some it is a serious practice on our more than 500 miles of paved roads that wind along scenic water
ways through farm country. Ride
your bike through Adams Mill Covered Bridge or to the Mill itself. You mig have to share the road with a tract or even a white-tailed deer, but the stress ofriding among fastmoving vehicles is nearly nonexistent!
Fishermen can try their luck at a variety of streams and lakes. Deer Creek, Wildcat Creek, and Rock Creek are some of the smaller streams while the Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers are the larger ones flowing through the county. Knop Lake is a 42-acre, state-ovvned
property in Carroll County and provides fishing, non-motorized boat use, a fish and wildlife habitat, and access to both the North and South Forks ofWildcat Creek. If you like catfish, bass,
or bluegill, you will find them waiting for you in the streams of Carroll County.
Canoeing and kayaking opportunities are endless in Carroll County. A scenic Wildcat Creek trip starts at historic Adams Mill, an
authentic water-powered mill constructed in
1845 and has paddlers passing under Xenia Iron Bridge and Lancaster Covered Bridge. Floating dovvn Deer Creek ends at Riley Park in
Delphi just before it empties into the Wabash River. On this trip you will see slate and limestone cliffs, waterfalls, sycamores, and
wildlife including, blue herons, geese, hawks, and kingfishers. The beautiful Wabash River runs parallel to the old Wabash & Erie Canal towpath. A trip down any other river in the state will not give as complete a view of
Indiana as the Wabash. It is a
wide, slow-moving meandering river full of game fish. The
Tippecanoe River is ranked as ' one of the nicest rivers in
North America. The river's amazingly clear
waters and scenery provide a memorable canoe, kayak, or fish- ing trip. Look for
put-in and take-out points on the
map marked by a canoe and find
more descriptive detail on
the website. Golfers
should try Carroll County Country Club Golf Course, a 9-hole course with just enough challenge to make it interesting. You can find other 9oif courses in the couno/ marked 011 the map.
If you arc looking for a little more adventure, come jump out of an airplane with trained professionals from Air Indiana Skydive at the Flora Municipal Airport. It will be a memory you won't forget.
Explore indigenous flora on over 10 miles of well-groomed hiking trails that meander along both Deer Creek and the Wabash River near Delphi. Find trail information at historic Canal Park or Trailhead Park.
While in Delphi, be sure to visit Riley Park along Deer Creek. It is a charming little
park named after Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley who visited and often wrote about Delphi in the 1880's. A lighted one-mile valking trail, playground and shelters make
Flora Community Park a favorite. Burlington and Camden Parks offer great community activities, perfect for a summer picnic or catch the action of America's favorite pastime: baseball. See map far park locations.
The county parks include French Post Park, located where Rock Creek flows into the Wabash River and provides a lovely backdrop for a family picnic or fishing excursion. While there, you can learn about its historic significance as a French trading post with Indians living along the Wabash. Deer Creek Park, a 12-acre park just off SR 218 has access to Deer Creek and offers camp sites with hook-ups for electricity. Other camping facilities are available at nearby Americus or Indiana Beach.

r-e Sorghum Qa, •• ,,
While on your visit . ..
Fresh From the Farm
During the summer, you will find a
plethora of fresh fruit and vegetables at local produce stands in a
variety of Carroll County towns. Jars of Gold Run Sorghum are available at the farm or on shelves of local grocery stores. Gold Run Sorghum is made from 100% pure, natural juice extracted from sorghum cane and processed into clear, amber colored syrup. It retains all of its natural sugars and contains no artificial additives. Local farmers
grow the sorghum cane and begin processing it in mid fall.
Your search is over for a healthy meat alternative. Buy your freezer beef from Cleaver Family Farms. Gary and Sue Cleaver raise Piedmontese Crossbred cattle on their farm. The stem, roasts, and ground beef from these cattle are hormone and antibiotic free and naturally lower in fat, calories, and cholesterol than even skinless chicken . Tf you
want beef that is ready-to-eat, try George's Country Beef. On George's farm, cattle are
fed on green pastures and natural grains and raised without hormones, steroids, or animal by-products. Beef from these cattle is processed and canned into boneless beef chunks or ground beef. Just open a can and add the beef to a favorite recipe for stew, stroganoff, or tacos!
