Take a Trip Down Memory Lane With a Little Carmel #TBT!

How about a little Carmel #TBT? Carmel’s first library opened in 1914 & lasted until 1970. It was built by a grant from Andrew Carnegie & today houses an awesome local restaurant & pub. Thanks CC Historical Society for the great pic! — at Woody’s Library Restaurant.

The town of Carmel, just outside of busy Indianapolis has been noted by both Niche.com and Money Magazine as one of the “Best Places to Live in America!” 😲

Before it became the “Best Places to Live in America”, are you aware that 175 years ago, Bethlehem was the initial name of the village in Hamilton County that became Carmel? Or that Range Line Road apparently once led clear south to Monument Circle in downtown Indy? How about the explosive growth that has occurred in Carmel, which barely had 500 residents in 1900?

Let’s get nostalgic and remember all the best spots around town — it’s time to take a trip down nostalgia avenue. 🤩 What was your favorite spot in Carmel growing up?
