I believe that I have a piece of history from the Santa Claus Land that is dated back in the early 1960s. This is a small mirror case that has a mirror in it that my mom had in her ceddar chest. In her pasting I decided to go through this and this is one thing that I found. I remember going to Santa Claus land in the 1960s as a child. Can y help me with this and tell me where I need to send this piece of item to help with the history of Santa Clause Land.

This warms my heart. My age is 63 and Santa Claus, Indiana was such a big part of growing up and even after I became an adult. The memories I now cherish~

Comment on The Mysterious Wheelbarrows by Daryl Lovell

The photo was taken in Mariah Hill, Indiana by local historian, O.V. Brown. It is part of my Gr. Gr. Uncle O.V. Brown’s photos and negatives that I digitalized a couple of years ago. Since all the men are blindfolded, I would assume that it is a blind wheelbarrow race. Not sure what the occasion was, but an older person from Mariah Hill would probably know. I have two companion photos taken at the same time, along with this one. One of them has a women wearing what looks like a mink coat pushing one of the wheelbarrows. I believe that someone told me that the lady is Mrs. Koch’s mother, Bella Yellig. Contact me and I will send you the companion photos.
