Kewanna Jail

Small towns had little jails like this to keep drunks in overnight; then they
transported them to the county jail the next day. This jail was in the Kewanna Town
Hall 1912 to early 1960s. The Town Marshall was Elmer Hickle, who donated the
stove. The jail was donated by the Kewanna Town Board. It was hauled here by
Fred Oden and repaired by the blacksmiths. This building was donated by Howard
Lease, Rochester.

Pioneer Woman's Log Cabin Museum

FCHS reconstructed this log cabin in Lakeview Park at Rochester as a 1976
Bicentennial project, using logs from two 1860 era cabins, donated by Miller Ault
and Ted Merley. The Indiana blue limestone step is from the District 11 one-room
school near Fulton. Vernie Bowen, father of Indiana Governor Otis Bowen, taught
there in 1915-16. Today the cabin is furnished the way it would have been when
lived in by pioneers, including a spinning wheel and a large loom. The cabin is part
of our annual Halloween party the last Friday of October.
