Yep Spring Mill state park is right on the other side of town. My wife and son spend a lot of time there when I’m busy farming. In town they also have Gus Grissom’s boyhood home and in the Masonic lodge we have some artifacts from his time as an astronaut and his time as a Mason. My wife’s grandpa is 96 or 97 and grew up just down the street from Gus his mind it getting a little weak now but 10 years ago he had some pretty good stories about him. Another interesting fact about Spring Mill the land was owned by Lehigh Portland cement company and gifted to the state but Lehigh retained the water rights and there are pumps in hammer cave that pump water to a tower at the plant they use for cooling bearings on the kilns. Another thing I would definitely make some calls about is U.S. gypsum at Shoals Indiana. They give tours of their underground mine for gypsum to make drywall. There are 2 plants in Shoals. My dad works at National Gypsum but they shut their mine down about 5 years ago and use a coal byproduct. My dad worked in the mine for 25 years and I got to go down there a few times. It is amazing what can be happening a few hundred feet under the dirt people are farming and building homes on
