The following day, Sunday, May 6th, witness the storytelling of David Malack.

See this recently restored venue through the eyes of several historical characters. Presented first at the Indiana Landmarks Center in March, the story is part of the series "If These Walls Could Tell", commissioned by Frank and Katrina Basile to honor the winner of Indiana Landmarks' Cook Cup. The Cook Cup is awarded annually to an outstanding restoration project.
