A compilation of photos, facts, history and interesting information about Fountain County Indiana's County Seat.
As stated in the Preface to this interesting and informative book: 'To those of you who were transplanted here in your later years and to those of you who have lived your entire lives here, the information in the following pages will hopefully educate and entertain you.'
To that, just let me add, to those of you who enjoy history and antiques this book will provide you with all kinds of arcane and interesting tidbits along with photos of small town Indiana from yesteryear and today. Many things have changed and many have stayed the same and there are hints of what came before hidden all around if you
look.
This book is but a beginning and gives glimpses of what our history in Fountain County and Covington have given us on our journey.
