A new page of postcard photos has been added. Included are photos of the Gaar Mansion, Richmond Art Museum, Huddleston House, Madonna of the Trail, Indiana Football Hall of Fame, and the statuary outside of the Wayne County Historical Museum.

Send a postcard to a misplaced Hoosier who would like a little piece of "home"!

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?
We've added a new feature to the home page - a quick poll with a new question each week. With the current question we see if Wayne County can predict the outcome of the Oscar awards for best motion picture!

Drop by to express your opinion and see what the rest of Wayne County thinks! Next week's question: Where do you think new Wayne County jail should be built?
