Showcase Sunday: Ligonier Flour Mill, Ligonier, IN.

Given the crane and the ready-mix trucks on the left side of this view, it looks like they were expanding in 2023.

I saw some mural artwork on some of the buildings, and that reminded me that today's US-33 was originally part of the Lincoln Highway.

This showed me how the Lincoln Highway went through this town. It also shows the location of the lost NYC/LS&MS Depot.
