Local history buffs shared these stories at a âtalking museum,â so to speak.
The Kendallville Public Libraryâs history panel Wednesday night featured Bill Shultz, president of the Noble County Historical Society and in charge of Noble Countyâs Old Jail Museum; Terry Housholder, publisher of KPC Media Group and author of â150 Years: 1863-2013 Kendallville, Indiana;â Mike Mapes, owner of probably the largest collection of postcards featuring scenes from Kendallville history; and Amanda Blackman, president of the Kendallville Heritage Association.
Blackman â who is the No. 1 expert on the areaâs cemeteries â says people always say to her, âYou must know so many people in Kendallville.â She says, yes, she does know many, many people . but all of them are dead.
