TRAILER Lincoln Pioneer Village and Museum (Rockport, Indiana)
FILMED IN HIGH DEFINITION
In 1936, a man named George Honig created a time capsule, in Rockport, Indiana. He wanted to immortalize the boyhood life of Abraham Lincoln, and with the help of the WPA, built an entire village that tells the story. Many of the village buildings are recreations, but some are original to the community, including one belonging to Abraham Lincoln’s sister, Sarah Lincoln Grigsby. These originals were painstakingly moved, log by log, in an astonishing feat of dreams turned into reality.
The village is an amazing place, and surreal if you come early and have the place virtually to yourself. In May and October, costumed interpreters fill the village for an unforgettable experience. At the front of the village is an excellent museum with Lincoln artifacts, local history items, and an impressive gallery of period dresses.The village and museum were both a pleasant surprise, and a place I’d recommend to any Lincoln history lover.
The Lincoln Pioneer Village and Museum is open May through October, with many fun, scheduled events. Checkout their website for dates and times!

Lincoln Pioneer Village Heritage Days Rendezvous
This video was made to promote The Lincoln Pioneer Village Heritage Days Rendezvous Oct. 31st and Nov. 1st 2015 in Rockport, Indiana.
Rockport Pioneer Village Rendezvous
The Lincoln Pioneer Village is located at the west end of Main Street in Rockport, Indiana.
The village which now covers a large portion of Rockport's beautiful city park, with large trees as a setting, is the lifetime dream come true of George H. Honig, a sculptor and Lincoln historian, of Rockport.
The village is made up of log cabins, public buildings, schools, and churches as they stood in Lincoln's days in Spencer County. More than 3,000 logs were donated and two log cabins, more than 50 years old, were moved to the site. Labor was provided through the FERA and money required was raised by popular subscription, schools, churches, clubs, and civic associations of the county as well as individuals making donations.
In the spring and fall, the village has hosted encampments with reenactors representing the begging of the United States through the US Civil War. These are some of the images from those encampments.

The Motorcycle Community just lost a Giant- A pioneer in the motorcycle community
Around 1964, Truett found that using nitro-methane worked the best in powering the bikes.
“I trained with nitro when most people didn’t even know what it was,” he said, “and was the first to go to nitro racing in Wichita.”
During this time, Truett also began dating his future wife, Diane. Diane worked as a licensed beautician but it didn’t stop her from getting involved in the oil and grease to keep up with Bonnie.
“I mixed chemicals for the beauty shop to do hair and it wasn’t long before Bonnie had me mixing the fuel for the drag bike, too. It was the same as work except I was using different additives,” Diane said. Truett said some of the chemicals mixed were literally liquid dynamite. “It took four people to stage and start the bike,” he said. “But it was just me and Diane. She was my pit crew, and would stage the bike until I was on the driver’s seat.” “Not only did I mix the fuel, I learned to change the oil and spark plugs, work the clutch and file it, and a lot of other things,” Diane said.
