(EDITOR S NOTE - Following is the first of a series about Mrs. Willman's visit to Turkey Run State park and Parke County — Photos by Tom Willman) Heading into the winter season always seems a bit easier for this reporter’s family if a short vacation can be squeezed into our schedule about the time the leaves are turning. Some years ago we set a goal cf visiting each Indiana State Park that has an inn. This year we spent a week at Turkey Run State Park near Rockville. The inn is quaint, rustic and comfortable. The food was good and plentiful. Turkey Run Park consists of 2,382 acres and is located on highway 47 in west central Indiana. It was established in 1916 as the second park in the Indiana State Park system. Turkey run is rugged and beautiful with deep gorges, large rock formations and cliffs. Glacial ice that covered the northern part of the park helped create Sugar Creek. Trees and land preserved in the area look little different from what the pioneers saw. Miami Indians walked trails that are used by park visitors today. This reporter and her husband tackled hiking trail number six, which is supposed to be short, easy walking and probably would be for a mountain goat. We should have been suspicious when the entrance to trail six required our creeping down the face of a 20-foot cliff. At the bottom of the cliff we found ourselves, and a shallow creek, on the floor of a deep gorge with no place to go but forward to back up the cliff. We decided forward would probably be better. The sky was overcast and trees over the gorge shut out a lot of light. At one point we came upon the statue of an elegant lady dressed in flowing robes. She was standing on a rock ledge about three feet above the creek bed. A plaque said she had been placed there by the Women’s Press Club of Indiana. According to the hiking trail map this gorge had been the roosting place for large flocks of

Judy Clayton told how to prepare mums and strawberry plants for winter. Cyndi Heckaman discussed preventing home fires. Viola Richcreek reported on Madelyn O’Hara who is promoting the removal of religious programs from TV and radio. Margaret Teghtmeyer received the “traveling basket.’’ Refreshments of cider and pumpkin dessert were served by Mrs. Shock and the assistant hostess, Lois Royer. A carry-in dinner is planned for November at the home of Pauline White. Women's tour tomorrow Lakeland Women’s club met recently at North Webster United Methodist Church. Susie Williams was in charge of the business session. A Christmas party is planned for December 8 at the home of Miriam Mason. Hostesses will be Shirly Krug, Louise Shaner and Bev Braun. Marian Steedman announced that the antiques tour is scheduled for October 27. The tour is open to anyone who is interested. Leia Ledyard and Mrs. Mason were asked to audit the club books. The book “Chesapeake will be reviewed on November 11 at the home of Mrs. Steedman. A sack lunch was served at noon. Other refreshments were provided by Mrs. Mason. The afternoon was spent working on Holiday wreaths for the North Webster Community

wild turkeys. We didn’t time our walk but when we finally came to another cliff, with little stone steps leading up toward the inn, this reporter was nearly convinced we would never again see civilization. The first few days the inn and park were rather crowded. There were a lot of visitors there from Illinois with school age children. Everyone was having such a good time. The gray squirrels and chipmunks (around the inn) scampered about providing entertainment and lessons in nut gathering. Sounds coming from the game room in the inn basement reminded us of excerpts from “Star Wars.” Salmon Lusk Home An interesting addition to the park is the recently restored Salmon Lusk home. The two-story, red brick structure was built in 1841 and in spite of looking large from the outside it contains only five or six rooms. There are four rooms open to the public. It sits on a high bluff over looking Sugar Creek and a covered bridge that was built in 1882. The Lusk home contains woodwork and doors made from native black walnut. The walls are covered with rough white plaster that was made with cow and pig hair mixed in to give it strength. The parlor contains an arrow back deacon’s bench, high backed rocking chair, corner cupboard and small table with a drawer. There was a hair wreath, in a picture frame, over the fireplace. Hair wreaths were all the fashion in the mid-1800. The ladies of the house would save long strands of their hair that came out in the comb or brush. There were special decorative containers where the hair was kept until there was enough to make a wreath. The finished product was proudly displayed in the home or given as a gift. The family ‘"keeping room” contained cooking utensils for the fireplace, a black w alnut pie safe with original punched tin doors and a beautiful, drop leaf, harvest table made of cherry. The upstairs bedrooms featured rope beds with massive

Christmas bazaar. The project was supervised by Sandy Sawyer and Lucy White of the Special Projects committee. The guest speaker for November will discuss “Nutrition For Older Americans.” Hostesses for November will be Dorothy Crowell and Mrs. Ledyard. Costume party held by club Pam Myers was hostess for a Halloween costume party held October 18 by members of Golden April Club. Rhonda Menzie received a gift for having the best costume. Roll call response was “My most embarrassing moment, with or without my children.” Diane Dial was welcomed as a new member. Carol Robbins gave two readings. Connie Crawford received the door prize. Several members received birthday or anniversary gifts from their secret pals. It was announced that a club recipe exchange will be held each month. The Christmas party is planned for December 13 at the home of Deb Scott. Members were reminded to take canned goods to the November meeting for a Thanksgiving basket. Mrs. Dial and Mrs. Myers were named to a committee to help select a group project for next year’s Christmas bazaar. Mrs. Scott received the monthly “Surprise” basket. It contained homemade cookies and a decorative candle. Mrs. Menzie will be hostess for the November meeting.

corner posts, feather ticks and quilts. One quilt was made with 20 stitches to the inch. It looked like fine crinkle cotton and must have taken years to complete. There was also a woven blue and white coverlet dated 1858. Family records show it originally belonged to the Lusk family. Our guide, Anne, was very knowledgeable about the house, grounds and Lusk family. She was happy to answer questions and allowed us to take as much time as we wanted to look around in the old house. We were delighted to see a large number of foreign visitors, with children, who were enjoying the park. A lot of them seemed to speak little or no English but the big smiles and friendly attitude was easy to understand in any language. (See King Arthur’s news on page 19) —NW— Tools stolen Max Goodspeed, Syracuse, reported to police Sunday, Oct. 23 that a three-quarter inch Black & Decker drill, drill bits and other toolsl were stolen from the tool box mounted to the bed of his Ford truck.
