In this episode of the Bicentennial Journal, architectural preservationist Cynthia Brubaker talks about the importance of limestone in Monroe County.
Limestone in southern Indiana is unique in its building properties, and began as a family-based industry. Brubaker tells the history of the buildings around Bloomington’s Courthouse Square and other places in the United States using Indiana limestone in their construction.
Support for The Bicentennial Journal and WFHB comes from Monroe County and Visit Bloomington. More information about Monroe County’s Bicentennial is available on their website.
The Bicentennial Journal is produced by Kate Welch, with help from Joyce Polling and Julie Thomas. Executive Producer is WFHB News Director Wes Martin.
