Rotary Jail Museum

225 N Washington St., Crawfordsville

This historic building in Crawfordsville contains the last functional rotating jail. This kind of jail, which featured cells on a carousel-like wheel, was designed in the late 1800s and soon discontinued due to prisoners regularly losing limbs to the mechanism.

Giant Santa Claus

Giant lady’s leg sundial

The grave in the middle of the road

6844 E. 400 South, Franklin

Nancy Kerlin Barnett, born May 14, 1793, died Dec. 1, 1831, is buried in the middle of County Road 400 South along with six relatives. The burial plot used to be on a grassy hill. Legend has it that her grandson defended their final resting place with a shotgun when officials came to pave a road over it and now, the two-lane country road splits around the grave.

St. Anne Shell Chapel
