Produktinformationen zu „Delphi (ePub)“
Named for the Grecian city with its famed oracle, Delphi was envisioned by early residents as a center of culture for the surrounding area.Delphi is nestled in the picturesque valley formed by the Wabash River and Deer Creek. Three courthouses have graced the central square in Delphi--the "e;seat of justice"e; in Carroll County since platted in 1828 by Gen. Samuel Milroy. When the Wabash and Erie Canal cut through the area in the 1840s, Delphi became a center for industry and commerce. Handsome three-story brick buildings appeared in the 1850s and surrounded the square by the 1880s. Area residents traveled to Delphi for trade, business, and entertainment. Delphi's opera houses drew traveling acts from Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and other cultural centers. Visitors today enjoy the architectural gems downtown and in nearby residential districts plus six parks with miles of groomed hiking and biking trails. The canal era is alive in Delphi at the Wabash and Erie Canal Interpretive Center where a replica boat takes visitors on a restored section of the historic waterway.
Autoren-Porträt von Anita L. Werling
Delphi is fortunate to have a rich photographic record in a collection of plates made by Delphi photographers James M. Boltz and Andrew W. Wolever. Many of the photographs in this volume were selected from images produced from these plates by local historian and photographer Charles E. Gerard and donated to the Delphi Preservation Society prior to his death in 2005.
