The Hoosierist: A Courthouse Roof Tree, Supercomputers, And Indiana s Caves – Indianapolis Monthly

Sam Stall answers more of your questions about Hoosier arcana. April 9, 2021 I call BS on the famous tree that lives in the Greensburg courthouse roof. Are we supposed to believe it has been there for a century and never gotten bigger? Actually, a tree has occupied that spot for more like a century and a half. But no one’s claiming it’s the same sprout that locals first noticed poking out of the Greensburg courthouse tower in the 1870s. After years of life (and service as a tourist attraction), that sapling died in the early 20th century. In the meantime, another tree the one that’s there now has taken root on the tower’s south side. The Decatur County Visitors Commission spends about $5,000 annually on its care, including regular visits from an arborist. Recently, a Purdue University expert stated that the tree is “almost certainly” a mulberry. Which explains a lot, because mulberries which are attempting to colonize the cracks in the Hoosierist’s patio can survive

City of Greensburg receives Indiana Destination Development Grant

Greensburg, IN  The City of Greensburg announced recently that the community has been awarded $150,000 from the Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC). The IDDC considered 30 grant applicants across the state in 2021, and narrowed it down to four contenders. Other finalists with the City of Greensburg included the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis and Newfields, which were not awarded funds. The City of Greensburg worked in partnership with the Decatur County Visitors Commission and the Greensburg/Decatur County Economic Development Corporation to apply for the funds and present to the IDDC. “The project is a great example of cooperation toward a vision the community has had for the area, and we have been working toward over the last 3 years,” said EDC Director Bryan Robbins. “Great projects take time, and this is one that has the capability of attracting both new visitors, and new residents.”
