Southern Indiana's Medora Brick Plant

A State of Indiana Historical marker commemorating the Medora Shale Brick Plant, placed in downtown Medora on May 3, 2008, sparked renewed interest in the over 100-year-old abandon plant nearby which had been a cornerstone of the community's economy and heritage. Great things began to happen!
