Thanks to you, I've been to the Triple Whipple Bridge. I was unaware of Buffalo at that time. You might consider corresponding with Roger Turpen, of "Adventures With Roger". He has covered many nooks and crannies of Indiana.
Beautiful old town! That bridge is awesome! So great to see they've restored it! Love seeing the old photos from the past there! Great to see what's left of the town kept up and restored so nice! Thanks for sharing it with us!👍
@@historyinyourownbackyard2363 If there is a video just for the bridge I either forget it or missed it. I been offline at times between moving and no internet at new place and hospital stays. thanks
Love your work and dedication. You might want to check out Elkinsville again there is 4 or 5 people still there. No stores but post office still standing. Canoe rentals at 1 home and real nice house next to Browning mountain. I believe the home is in bad shape below Elkinsville cemetery. The people living out there definitely dedicated.
Enjoyed the video and information. Was surprised my home wasn't in the video. Looking for some old pictures of it. I believe it was built in 1869. Tall Victorian on the opposite end of the street to the Tripple Whipple. Tan siding with green metal roof.
Sorry about that. I forgot to put the links in the description. However, I just put them in this morning. Thanks for saying something. I appreciate it.
We could make a comeback if we didn't have so many taxes and government involvement. Indiana would rather sell it's land to people from other countries than let us be free!
Actually I believe the decline of Buffalo/French (As with many other "Ghost Towns") didn't have anything to do with taxes or government involvement. It had to do with the advent of the automobile and the ability of people to easily travel to larger towns such as Rising Sun or Aurora for for a wide variety of food and material goods.
@historyinyourownbackyard2363 I can guarantee you that there are plenty of people around that would love to live off the land, but can't afford to because property taxes force people to have an income to give the government forever until they die.
@@slowboywhiteboardv4 actually property taxes in rural areas are fairly cheap in Indiana. If you have 10 or more acres of land you can have the land listed as a "Classified Forest" with the state that results in a tax of only $1.00 per acre I believe.
@historyinyourownbackyard2363 I own such "classified forest" myself. The fact is that you only get those cheap taxes because you promise not to live/hunt / raise animals / grow food crops on the land. You only get the discount if you promise to leave the land alone and not do anything to it besides maintenance for wild animals and plants.
@@slowboywhiteboardv4 You're allowed to hunt and cut trees on it I believe but you're right, if you want to build on it, raise animals or grow food crops, you do have to remove that acreage from the plot and pay back taxes on it. How much land do you own?
Very cool Satoli! This looks like a lot of work. Thanks for all your efforts. I really enjoyed this!
Glad you enjoyed the video!

Good idea, thanks!
It was cool to come across this. I was born in Winamac.
Good deal!

Very few of the old homes are left but it is a neat little town.
Nice series. That Whipple bridge is awesome. Glad it has been restored.
Glad you like the project! I guess you saw the video I did specifically on the Whipple Bridge?

Can you give me an address or a GPS location?
Thank you Satoli , nice town
You are most welcome.
As a kid I can remember stopping at the little store for an occasional soda pop.
Neat place!
Where all the "links in the description" that you mentioned in the video? Am I missing something?
Sorry about that. I forgot to put the links in the description. However, I just put them in this morning. Thanks for saying something. I appreciate it.
❤❤
