Old Settler's Day. Downtown Wanamaker, Indiana

Old Settler's Day. Downtown Wanamaker, Indiana I am not affiliated with this event, I just update this page. Booth vendors set up the length of the avenue and sell concessions and unique products.

Wanamaker's main thoroughfare, Southeastern Avenue, is closed for the event from Northeastern Avenue to McGaughey Road. The Classic Car Show is held in conjunction with Old Settler's Day, rain or shine. Trophies are awarded to the top three in each official car class, and special awards are presented for various achievements. The festivities are concluded by a large firework show at Franklin Centr

al High School. All the money for the firework show is donated via the community


News:The town was founded under the name New Bethel in 1834 and was platted from farmland that belonged to Mary Adams. The community later changed its name to Wanamaker for John Wanamaker, who was the 35th United States Postmaster General. He was appointed by President Benjamin Harrison in 1889. There is some knowledge of the Wanamaker family living for a short time in Indiana but they returned to Philadelphia. On July 2, 2009 the Chase Bank branch in Wanamaker was robbed. The suspect entered the bank with two guns and fired a warning shot. After the robber exited the bank he struggled with a postal carrier who he shot in the eye before fleeing. The suspect was apprehended about a mile from the bank after crashing a car into a ditch. News: http://indiana.hometownlocator.com/in/marion/wanamaker.cfm
