Remember the Ferdy Flyer?

It’s time for the County Throwback Picture of the Month! This month’s image comes to us from in the early 1900s and features what was an entirely in-county rail line. The Ferdinand Railroad branch ran from Ferdinand to Huntingburg from 1909 to 1991 and was mostly used as a freight line. It was one of a number of train lines that was heavily used in Indiana throughout the early and middle of the 20th century, but by the end of the century most of the train lines in Indiana were defunct, like Ferdinand.

Have you voted for your favorite photo yet? Voting continues till June 2. Then the winners will be announced.

The Photo Contest voting has begun. Vote for your three favorite from the adult category (we know it will be difficult to choose just one) and one from children and one from teen photos submitted. The committee will then compile all the votes to determine the top vote getters. We now have 100 photos entered. Wow! Stop in to see the photos and with your admission, see all our 50,000 square feet of exhibits. Yes, you do have to pay the admission. $5 per adult, $3 per high school, $2 per middle and high school, free to those 4 and under. Museum members are free. Well worth your donation to the museum.

The Dubois County Museum lost a remarkable friend and promoter of the museum with the passing of longtime volunteer, Arnie Mehringer, on June 26, 2023. Arnie wore many hats at the museum. He was a volunteer that was always willing to help out in any way he could. He was a tour guide that could speak to all ages about the exhibits at the museum. He loved talking to the older generation on a tour because they knew what the items were, but he also had a way with the younger visitors also. He was so knowledgeable about the farm equipment because he said, “I lived it and worked with it.” He always seemed to have a unique sense of humor that people liked. He was fond of saying, “If you have a question, just put it on a $50 bill and get it to me.” Yet, he always donated any tip back to the museum. He came forward during COVID and let the museum record him talking about exhibits in the museum. He was such a hit on these videos. His recollection of items was remarkable. We will now cherish these videos. Arnie loved the Dubois County Museum and we all loved him. Rest in Peace, Arnie

Thought we would share again our video about our collection of Scott Rolen items in our Sports Collection. Greg Eckerle, our sports exhibit coordinator, shares the collection with you on this video.
