Small-town Tippin talks to continue Thursday at museum

Larry Tippin

Putnam County Historian Larry Tippin's popular small-town series, "Rediscovering Putnam County: Tiny Towns and Vanished Villages," will continue Thursday, May 23 at the Putnam County Museum, 1105 N. Jackson St., Greencastle.

The 6:30 p.m. program is free and open to the public. More than 40 people have attended each of the previous sessions.

In the fifth installment of the series, Tippin will be talking this month about Clinton Falls, Grubb's Mill and Alma; Blakesburg, Cairo and Fincastle; and Manhattan.

Each month's talk encompasses a place or places in each tier of Putnam County townships, north, central and south.

As always, Tippin will talk about the research he's done in establishing where some places once stood, what happened there and who lived, worked and traded in that location.
