Carousel Winery has invited Lawrence County Historian, Ron Bell, to be the guest speaker for this very unique event.
Not only will Bell be sharing his knowledge of this area before Indiana became a state, he will also be going on a very interesting discovery mission with us!
Apparently, The Lost School #7 was located right on the property that Carousel Winery sits on today. According to some early 1800’s maps, it is possible that the foundation of the old school could still be found.
… Challenge Accepted.
Bring your metal detector and hiking boots, and prepare to drink some of your favorite Carousel wine!
Before the hike, enjoy a meal from the “ol’ days”: beans, cornbread and our favorite… PERSIMMON PUDDING!

REED STATION
In the first decade of the last century, Reed Station was a small but thriving community of Italian immigrants between Oolitic and Avoca. It became the scene of a dramatic series of events that would baffle law enforcement and test community ties. This event consists of a historic walk, in which costumed reenactors explore the events at Reed Station, a light supper of soup, cornbread, and dessert, and a presentation by Believe Paranormal about their investigations at the former fish hatchery.
$20 for adults
