We invite you to Escape to the Past, explore our rich heritage and see rural beauty in Carroll County. Follow one or all of the scenic tours available in our county or take the Interurban Trolley for that added element of history on your driving tour. Carroll County is located amid the Wabash & Tippecanoe Rivers and Wildcat and Deer Creeks. History is preserved throughout the county. It offers a view of life in which people are linked together through a common respect for the land and for each other. The 1845 Adams Mill and nearby fully restored Covered Bridge is near Cutler. Lancaster Bridge, Carroll County's other remaining covered bridge is also in the southern part of the county near Owasco. Indiana's oldest continually used bridge, the 1837 Burnett's Creek Stone Arch cut stone structure is near Lockport. Lockport also holds two National Register sites, The Burris House and Potawatomi Spring. The stone building served as an inn while the spring was a well-know watering place for Indians and early settlers. A two-mile section of the Wabash & Erie Canal that holds water with a park, Canal Conference and Interpretive Center, seven miles of well groomed walking trails, exceptional architecture, and the County Historical Museum in the beautiful limestone Courthouse are all located in Delphi. Pittsburg was home of the "Great Dam" just east of town. This dam allowed navigation of the Wabash River and provided water for the canal and a side-cut to Pittsburg. Vigilantes blew up the dam in 1881. The coming railroad ended the canal's reign. Don't miss Sycamore Row new Deer Creek, French Post Park on the Wabash, the towns of Burlington, Camden, and Flora. See Carroll County's beauty past, present, and future!
