Liberty, Winchester and Truma

Leaving the campground at Brookville Lake, we headed north on Route 27 through another pretty midwestern town; Liberty, Indiana.

This stately courthouse has been standing here since 1891.

As long time readers realize, we enjoy stopping to see town squares and county courthouses and Liberty is the county seat for Union County.

The town has preserved Liberty Depot, built in 1886, as a history museum.

Along with the Templeton Log Cabin built 1805

Our next stop was Winchester, the county seat of Randolph County, Indiana.

The Soldiers and Sailors monument was erected in 1890.

The plaque read:

James Moorman, a member of the Society of Friends, and conscientiously opposed to war, but recognizing the great value of the services of the Union Soldier, to our country and to the cause of Human Liberty, by his last Will and Testament contributed two thousand dollars to the erection of this monument. In commemoration of the Services and Patriotism of the soldiers who fought and died during the late Rebellion, in defense of their country, the Union of the States, and the Rights of Man.

Winchester’s historic district has several unique and well preserved homes like this one.

Further north on our journey, we found this clock tower in Berne, Indiana. The town, named for a village in Switzerland has the Swiss Heritage Village and Museum.

The reason for our trip through Indiana was to keep an appointment tomorrow at Truma’s North American Headquarters in Elkhart.

The company was kind enough to let us spend the night at one of their two powered RV sites.

Here’s the route from today’s travel.
