A Visit to Putnam County Museum - by Alexa Newlin
I went to our local museum with Reilly and her grandma. I found out that a papaw is an exotic type of fruit. They can be found right here in our very own Depauw Nature Park. I had never heard of these before. Apparently they look like a kiwi without the fuzzy part, and smell like a banana. I wish we had asked what it tastes like! The next time I go to the nature park I am definitely going to look for one!

Putnam County Word Hunger Discussion - Aug 5th
Putnam County farmers had interesting stories to tell about their experiences producing food over the years. The recent discussion on August 5th was appropriately held at the Putnam County Museum, which depicts life and culture in the county since it was founded, including agriculture from its early days to the present.
The discussion, titled Word Hunger, and the public art and poetry project that will result from it, are sponsored by Brick Street Poetry Inc., through the support of the Indiana Humanities Council’s Food for Thought project, and the National Endowment of the Humanities. Word Hunger is also part of the Spirit and Place Festival. A presentation on the entire Word Hunger project will take place on Nov. 14 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds barn.
