Nostalgia & History > Hebron, IN, Panhandle depot

I was eating lunch in Hebron, Indiana, and noticed a small sign across the street for the Panhandle Depot Museum. Unfortunately it was closed, but I snapped this photo. According to info on the town's web site, the depot was moved to this location in 1994 and has been restored. It sits in back of the Stagecoach Inn, another historic building which has become a museum. I also saw a sign for a depot museum just south in De Motte, but did not have time to explore. I'm glad these small communities are preserving their history.

Oh, yes, the reason I detoured off I-65 was to have a nostalgic meal in the Country Kitchen restaurant. My family used to stop there for a meal or for the homemade pie when we made the trip to and from Rensselaer, Indiana, where I went to school at St. Joseph's College back in the 60s. The food is still good and the pies are still homemade.
