Orange County community members gathered on June 6th to formally rededicate the historic French Lick Fort Marker on the grounds of French Lick Springs Hotel. The marker commemorates one of the earliest chapters of Orange County’s storied history, when the site served as a crossroads for travelers, settlers, and Native peoples moving along what would become known as the Buffalo Trace. The current stone marker was originally erected in 1933 by the Lost River Chapter of the daughters of the Revolution. Pictured are those taking part in the rededication ceremonies left to right Robert F. Henderson, Orange County America 250 Chairman, Rebecca Speaker, Southern Director, Indiana D.A.R., Lost River D.A.R. members Bryan Fleenor, Lora Sanders, Lila Tucker, Regent, Lost River D.A.R. and Jeff Lane, Orange County Historian. Presentation of Colors was conducted by American Legion Post 76, French Lick and special patriotic musical selections was by Rex Hinkle. Also helping to help sponsor the event was Timeless French Lick.
