My daughter was showing her college roommates around Carmel today. They decided to stop in the museum and read up on some Carmel history.
These two evergreens were planted during the construction of the 1921 Carmel High School building known as "Old North." On Saturday, September 11th at 11am, Carmel Clay Historical Society along with members of the CHS Class of 1971 will celebrate the centennial of the two evergreens. The public is cordially invited to join the celebration and share memories of "Old North."
There is so much interesting history in Carmel ... you should check out the Carmel Clay Historical Society ... their historians are top notch and they help tell the story of where we once were, which often informs us of where we are today! Carmel Clay Historical Society

We are so excited to *officially* celebrate the 117th anniversary of the discovery of Flowing Well! 🥳
Did you know that the well's actual date of discovery has been a longtime mystery? Our friends over at the Carmel Clay Historical Society recently found the missing puzzle pieces and determined that today is the day!

In Hamilton County, this two-story concrete and steel corn crib is one of the few still-standing remnants of Lynnwood Farm, a site that once spanned more than 600 acres owned by Eli Lilly and Company executive Charles Lynn from 1932-1942. Indiana Landmarks has been pleased to partner with the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission, the Plum Creek Farms Homeowners Association, and the Carmel Clay Historical Society to aid its preservation, recommending grants and supporting its designation as a conservation district in 2019.
I am the webmaster for a site that covers the history of the IHSAA State T&F meet. I'm currently trying to locate the grades for all athletes who medaled at the state meet. I've had success at locating most of the Carmel medalists' grades (both boys and girls), but have not been able to find the grades for the following from Carmel...the year in parentheses is the year the athlete medaled at state which is note necessarily the year they graduated).
Joseph Roberts, 2nd in 120 yard hurdles (1910)
? Hoskins (first name unknown), 2nd in 120 hurdles (1913)
Fred Roeder, 3rd in high jump (1924)
It's a long shot being almost 100 years ago and more, but thought I'd see if anyone here might know or have some leads on where to find out (I tried searching for online yearbooks from that era with no luck) Any help is appreciated!
