Wow! I lived her from the late 50's through 1971! I was in second grade when my family moved here. This is a nice little documentary about our little town.
I grew up in the Brenly Station area outside of New Paris, attended That school from 1st through 3rd grade, then districts were divided and I went to Monroe , then National Trail. Still visit that are on a regular basis.
Wonderful upload, History in Your Own Backyard. I hit the thumbs up icon on your segment. Continue to keep the wonderful work. Can't wait see your next one from you.
Glad you liked the video. I have almost 700 documentaries now on everything from one room school houses to cathedrals. If you go to my website, you'll see the videos broken down by state, county and town. historyinyourownbackyard.com
I think this is so very Kool. My mother was from New Paris. My grandparents owned Chamberlain Flower Shop. He was very proud member of New Paris. Great town
Greetings from New Paris, Indiana! Legend has it that our town was founded in the 1830s by settlers who named their town after the town they had left behind -- New Paris, Ohio.
Ms. Steinberger is a charming lady. We met in the cemetery behind her house where I was looking for members of my Barber family. She has a millstone in her yard from the mill my great-grandfather and his brothers built on the river.
The Natural Springs RV park is an excellent family park. Halloween is particularly nice. Get your reservations in early. 🤠 I’m a former seasonal renter there and loved it!
What we need to do Is get Joan and get the knowledge she has on paper, camera computer or something as long as she is capable of doing it. She is an important part of New Paris.
Jone Steinburger said New Paris Village was started by Pioneers from Paris Kentucky, but the building on Main and Washington was O.S.S occupied by Odd Fellows. They did not build this structure. It was built way before they took over the building in my opinion. The structure looks nothing like all other building in New Paris. Hummm...
The building you are referring to is now the New Paris Antique Mall. It has changed looks multiple times over the years depending on the occupiers including getting the stone facade over the original brick.
