​​Coordinators:  Karin Pinto
                        Yvonne Whelan
Trips:  One fall and one spring.

Fall Trip 2024
 
 Delphi, IN
Thursday, September 26, 2024

     Our neighboring town, Delphi, has several unique locations that you may have heard about but haven’t visited. The Wabash & Erie Canal Park hosts an excellent museum and an historic home that was built in 1844. This home was once the residence of Reed Case, the man who oversaw construction of the Wabash & Erie Canal in Miami County and from Delphi to Lafayette.

     Downtown we will tour the beautifully restored Opera House and adjoining art gallery. We will have a short program of entertainment and enjoy a boxed lunch from the Stone House Bakery.

     We will also make a stop at the US Aggregates Quarry in Carroll County. This plant produces quality limestone, sand, and gravel for use in construction, asphalt, and ready-mix industries. We can learn how important these natural resources are to our state and country’s infrastructure. You may even have a chance to find some fossils.
