One thing I really like about exploring towns in central Indiana is when I discover a memorial to…read morethe history of the area, especially when it was something that I somewhat recall or have a connection with. Back on April 3, 1974, the Midwest was hit with a "Super Outbreak" that generated 148 confirmed tornadoes over a two day period across 13 states. 5000 were injured and 315 deaths were confirmed. Monticello was the target of an F4 tornado that swept in from the southwest, killing eight people. There was an estimated $100 million in damages, including the court house. The tornado struck the town at 5:17 p.m. It is considered (locally) as when "time stood still". In 2010, a new park was created a block west of where the new court house stands. The bricked plaza features several special items. A sculpture shaped like a tornado supports a clock that is stopped at 5:17. There are some pieces from the court house that were saved and put in this park. The original water fountain and several of the lamp posts were saved and used in this plaza. (Note: The keystone from the original court house sits a block to the west on the corner of Constitution Plaza by the new court house.) This plaza creates a quiet space in the downtown area that succinctly tells the story of what happened by use of plaques that are located around the plaza. I admire that the town pays tribute to its challenges and has continued forward rebuilding as a community. Review #2794

When the former White County Court House was destroyed by the horrific tornado of 1974, the county…read morehad the opportunity to rebuild. Not only did they make a new court house, but they also added Constitution Plaza. The plaza has a bit of everything: a Veteran's memorial section in the south east corner; the keystone sculpture from the previous court house; a new pavilion for outdoor events; and a new sculpture on the north east corner. The plaza is brick lined and looks great! The scale is smaller in keeping with the reduced size of the court house. It all seems to work because it was planned that way. The statue of Colonel Isaac White was added in 2015. The statue was created by artists Stephen Maxon and Doris Park who made the life sized bronze. White is the namesake of the county and there is a dedication plaque that tells his story. Very nice plaza for the heart of downtown. Review #2753

They moved the tasting from the house to a newer facility. The outside is attractive and open. Inside comfortably seated 30+ people. The winery has adopted a different "theme" every three months. This moments theme was the 80's. The whole place, including the restroom, was decorated in the 80's . Even the food menu and the slushee menu were 80's themed items. Very creative. Though this may not appeal to classic wine drinkers. White horse has a wide variety of wines to try. We focused on dry whites and reds. You won't find many unique tastes. However the standard brands (Pinot Gris & Noir) have good tastes with nice flavors. The glassware was very attractive to accent the wine. You need to try the custom made wine slushee flights if you want something other than a glass of wine. These look fun and very tasty
