History
Following the American Revolution, the Northwest Territory was created in 1783. From
this territory, the boundaries of states were portioned off and recreated into their own
territories. The Indiana Territory was created in 1800, named for the plethora of Native
American cultures present in the land. Roughly, “Indiana” meant “land of the Indians.”
Delaware County was formed in 1827. It was named for the Delaware, a Native American
people who then still inhabited the area. The Delaware were moved to new lands west
of the Mississippi River in the 1840s. David Conner was the first white settler, arriving
in the early 1810s.
Muncie itself was formed in 1865 as a largely agricultural settlement comprised of
pioneers and other early settlers.
The first discovery of natural gas in Indiana occurred in 1876 in the town of Eaton. A
company was drilling in search of coal, and when they had reaching a depth of sixhundred feet, there was a loud noise and foul smelling fumes began coming from the
well. After a brief investigation, it was decided they had breached the ceiling of Hell,
and the hole was quickly filled in. In 1884, when natural gas was discovered in nearby
Ohio, people recalled the incident. They returned to the spot and opened Indiana’s first
natural gas well. The gas was so abundant and strong that when the well was lit, the
flames could be seen from Muncie. The east central Indiana and western portion of
west central Ohio became known as the Trenton Gas Field.
The Trenton Gas Field brought an increase of business to Muncie, including the Ball
Brothers Glass Manufacturing Company, which moved its base of operations from
Buffalo, New York, to Muncie in 1887. The Gas Boom and the Ball Brothers were
instrumental in the growth of Muncie through industry and burgeoning commercialism.
The population of Muncie quadrupled in twenty years following the Gas Boom, from a
little over five thousand in 1880 to over twenty thousand citizens in 1900.
As Muncie celebrates its sesquicentennial we encourage you to learn more about our
rich history. Below are some informative sites to visit. If you are without access to the

Pottery
Delaware County has a rich history of potters
and pottery, dating back to the early days of Ball
Corporation. Potters were needed in the production
of huge vessels in which the glass ingredients were
melted. In their spare time, the story goes, the men
made home-sized pottery. Fast-forward to 2015,
and Delaware County still has a healthy number
of working potters. Many of them grace our local
galleries with their pieces, including Kim Anderson,
Sue Beach, Carol Burt, Shonet Lambert Martin, Alan
Patrick, John Peterson, Martin Price and Kyle Rees.

Ball
Five brothers founded Ball in 1880 with a $200
loan from their Uncle George. In the beginning, they
made wood-jacketed tin cans for products like paint
and kerosene, but soon expanded their offerings
to glass- and tin-jacketed containers. In 1884, the
brothers began making glass home-canning jars, the
product that established Ball as a household name.
The brothers-Edmund, Frank, George, Lucius and
William-moved the company from Buffalo, New York
to Muncie, Indiana, in 1887 to take advantage of
abundant natural gas reserves essential to making
glass.
Ball grew rapidly in the ensuing decade and has been
in more than 45 businesses since its founding. Ball
no longer manufactures the ubiquitous canning jars,
but have expanded and grown into a worldwide metal
packaging company that makes billions of recyclable
metal containers, and a unique aerospace business
that designs one-of-a-kind solutions to answer
scientific and technical challenges. They currently
manufacture on four continents.

INDIANA ARTISAN
Indiana Artisan identifies, recognizes and promotes exceptional works of art and food created by Hoosier artists. It
is an official, state-sanctioned designation for work of the
highest caliber, with applications reviewed annually. Different
panelists are engaged in each of the two annual reviews,
and art panelists include artists, collectors, gallery owners
and managers, folklorists, museum curators and directors,
art educators, retailers, and others with an appreciation of
fine art and craft.
One criterion of particular importance is the work’s relationship to the Hoosier State. The work of successful applicants
is “juried in” to Indiana Artisan, meaning it becomes part of
the Indiana Artisan brand and the artist may take advantage
of the organization’s business development opportunities.
Currently the work of 296 Artisans in 63 Indiana counties is
part of the brand, and Delaware County is home to nine Indiana Artisans. Since the organization’s launch in 2008, more
than 1,400 applications have been reviewed, with fewer than
20 percent successfully “jurying in.”

Indiana Artisan is an economic development organization
that leverages the work of the state’s exceptional art and
food artisans, helping them expand their businesses and,
in turn, supporting the economies of their communities. In
addition, the organization works with 10 “artisan trails,” encompassing 44 Indiana counties, including Delaware County,
which is part of the Indiana Glass Trail.

The work of the Indiana Artisans comes together twice
annually – at the Indiana Artisan Holiday Marketplace in November and the Artisan Marketplace in March. To learn more
about Indiana Artisan visit www.IndianaArtisan.org.
Delaware County is in the top ten counties from which the
greatest number of Indiana Artisans hail.

INDIANA GLASS TRAIL
Delaware County embraces the Indiana Glass Trail. The trail
is a showcase for talented Hoosier artisans and glass blowers
that create magic with glass. The trail connects communities
in which the tradition and history of glass and glass artisans
can be experienced first hand. There are studios, galleries
and museums as well as festivals and workshops included
in the trail.
Fans of glass artisans, glass blowers, jar collectors, history
enthusiasts and more will find something of interest in
Delaware County relating to glass.
Finding additional glass artists along the Indiana Glass Trail
can be done by visiting www.indianaglasstrail.com. Glass
artists and shops that carry their work can easily be found.
You’re on your way to discovering the best Indiana has to
offer on the Indiana Glass Trail!
MINNETRISTA
In 1887, the Ball family moved its glass manufacturing
business from Buffalo, New York to Muncie. Ball Brothers
Glass Company became one of America’s best known
manufacturers of canning jars.
The Ball family purchased most of the land along the north
bank of White River between Wheeling and Granville pikes
in 1893. The name chosen by the family for the property
was taken from a Sioux word, “mna” (pronounced mini)
which means “water,” and combined with the English word,
“tryst,” to form “Minnetrista,” or, “a gathering place by
the water.”
The origin of Minnetrista dates back to 1978, when Margaret
Ball Petty wrote to her cousin Edmund F. Ball, suggesting that
the Ball Brothers Foundation provide a museum in which to
exhibit fine art.

Bloss
In September, 1862, Union soldiers camped near
Frederick, Maryland. During their stay, Private Barton
Mitchell and Sergeant John Bloss found several cigars
wrapped in paper. The paper was an order detailing the
movement of the Army of Northern Virginia under General
Robert E. Lee. It went up the chain of command until
it reached General George McClellan, who reportedly
exclaimed, “Now I know what to do! Here is a paper with
which, if I cannot whip Bobby Lee, I will be willing to go
home.”
Now, here is the connection to Muncie. After the war,
John Bloss, who was a graduate of Hanover College,
was superintendent of Muncie schools for a while. He
later became President of Oregon Agricultural College
(now Oregon State University). After he retired, he and
his family moved to a farm near Muncie. He is buried in
Beech Grove Cemetery.

Cornerstone
History
(Former Masonic Temple)
This Gothic Revival building is the third Masonic Temple for the Masons
in Muncie. Construction on the building began in 1920 and finished in
1926 at a cost of approximately $1 million. Prominent local architect
Cuno Kibele was commissioned for the project. In addition, nationally
recognized artist Gustav S. Brand created twenty-two murals for the
interior spaces.
The six stories are divided into three levels, each a double story. The first
level contains a banquet hall and auditorium, which were intended for
use of the community. The second and third levels were reserved for the
various Masonic lodges. Throughout the nearly 75 years of this buildings use, most of the original character defining exterior
and interior features remain unaltered.
The foundation for the Masonic Temple was poured in 1921, but plans were stopped and revised with the donation of
$150,000 from the Ball brothers for the incorporation of a public auditorium in the building. Frank C. Ball, in his memoirs,
stated that the brothers had discussed upon several occasions providing an auditorium for Muncie where entertainments of
a high order could be found. With the construction of the new temple, they felt that they had found a good organization to
oversee such a facility.
The beautiful building has since been placed on the National Register of Historic Places and is now home to Cornerstone
Center for the Arts and welcomes 90,000 visitors through its door annually. Presently, the arts programming has over 1,000
students enrolled annually. Cornerstone has made efforts to reach individuals of all races, ages, cultures and socio-economic
levels through arts programming, family-friendly special events and by serving as landlord to other local groups, mostly artsrelated organizations.

IU Health Ball
Memorial Hospital
In the late 1800s, the five Ball brothers from Buffalo, NY moved
their business to Muncie. The eldest of the brothers, Edmond B.
Ball, had a keen interest in improving the quality of health care
in Muncie, and when he died in 1925, his will established that
Ball Brothers Foundation and provided the funding for a modern,
public hospital.
Because it was to be a teaching hospital, primarily for training nurses, locating it across from the local college was a logical
choice. Ground was broken in 1927 and the main structure was completed and opened in August of 1929.
The hospital has grown in size and complexity to meet the needs of the community. By the 1970s it had become a regional
referral center for East Central Indiana. The North Tower opened in 1979 and in 2009 the South Tower and John W. Fisher
Heart Center opened. Today the original structure is gone and replaced with modern facilities in order to provide the best in
healthcare services to the communities they serve.

BALL STATE
HISTORY
Ball State’s tradition of innovation and entrepreneurship
is rooted in the late 19th century, when Muncie business
leaders envisioned a local college to help boost the city’s
development. Among the visionaries were Frank C. Ball
and his brothers, young New York industrialists who moved
to Muncie looking to expand their glass container business.
A small, private teacher training school opened in 1899.
After the community’s efforts to sustain the college failed,
the Ball brothers purchased the land and buildings of the
defunct institution and donated them to the State of Indiana.
This gift became the Indiana State Normal School Eastern
Division, which opened in 1918 to meet Indiana’s need for
more and better teachers.
In recognition of the Ball family’s generosity, the Indiana
General Assembly changed the school’s name to Ball
Teachers College in 1922 and then Ball State Teachers
College in 1929. The winged statue Beneficence stands
on the campus as a tribute to the family. This and other
landmarks from Ball State’s early years are featured in
our historical walking tour of the Old Quadrangle.
Growing a University
By the 1960s, the regional teachers college had begun
to attract faculty from outside the Midwest, and students
sought majors in areas such as business, architecture, and
other emerging disciplines. Enrollment and funding surged
with national trends, and new facilities and degree offerings
were added.
In 1965, the Indiana General Assembly renamed the college
Ball State University, acknowledging its phenomenal growth
in enrollment and facilities, the variety and quality of its
educational programs and services, and the anticipation of
the broader role it would play in the state’s future.
Building the Future
Today, Ball State’s entrepreneurial spirit continues to shine
through numerous expansions and additions of degree
offerings, technological resources, immersive learning
opportunities, community outreach projects, and state-ofthe-art facilities. These investments are preparing bright
students to take advantage of current and emerging job
opportunities, meet society’s most pressing needs, and
serve the communities in which they will live and work. Learn
more about our vision and mission and our current strategic
plan.

Muncie Visitors Guide
Freddy
It was August 9, 1953 and there was a record crown in Akron, Ohio for
the All-American Soap Box Derby. Freddy Mohler, a 14 year old, from
Muncie, Indiana had traveled to the derby in hopes of winning and he did
just that.
He was about to run in the final heat for the championship that day but
didn’t even realize it. He thought there was still one more heat to go. To
his surprise he won the world championship!
Soap Box Derby racing was quite popular in 1953 and Freddy became
an instant icon. He took a victory ride in the first Corvette ever made, he
appeared on two television shows and received a hero’s welcome home
where the mayor of Muncie presented him with a key to the city and the
governor of Indiana visited his home.
“All the dreams I’ve ever had have come true,” he said in 1988. “I have
the derby to thank for that.”
Freddy passed away at age 75 in 2014.

Kemp Machine Works
Kemp Machine Works (later known as B-K Machine), founded 1905, was
a mainstay for machine services for local industries and for automotive
applications and was in business for 100 years in Muncie. They began the
business about the same time that inventors began putting noisy gasoline
engines in new-fangled automobiles. Originally located on South Liberty
Street it later moved to 1215 South Franklin Street.
In addition to general machining jobs Kemp was working on designing
and building engines for aircraft about six years after the Wright Brother’s
historic 1903 flight. One motor by Kemp is displayed at the Smithsonian
Institute and the Oregon State Museum. By the end of WWI Kemp slowed production of aircraft engines.
The Muncie Aero Club was formed in 1912 and George Kemp served as president. Kemp had been interested in airplanes
since the early flights in 1903 and he even knew Orville Wright. Much like the automobile, airplanes came from carriage and
blacksmith shops and have grown into the great industry we know today. The Aero club tested small planes which only rose
5 to 6 feet off the ground on a small field at the intersection of Country Club Road and Highway 32.
In 1918 Muncie seen the first real airplane flight ever over the city. In 1925 the South Hackley Street Airport was dedicated.
This land is now a residential area. Then in September of 1932 the Muncie Airport was dedicated.
Want to learn more about aviation history? Visit Muncie’s Model Aviation Museum where you can learn how model planes
were used to experiment about flight long before the first flying plane was built.

Muncie Visitors Guide
Appeal to the Great Spirit
The statue, owned by the City of Muncie, is a memorial to
Edmund B. Ball. After his death in 1925, his family searched
for a suitable memorial to him. They settled on a replica of the
“Appeal to the Great Spirit” cast in bronze and erected on a
site just east of the Ball family homes on the north side of the
White River in Muncie. The original sculpture was created by
Cyrus Dallin in 1909 and is a Plains Indian. The statue and
surrounding park were dedicated in 1929.
The Myth of the Chief
The statue at Granville and Walnut Avenues “Appeal to the
Great Spirit” by sculptor Cyrus Dallin is an iconic symbol for
our great city. Many refer to the man on the horse as Chief
Munsee. But, the Indian depicted did not live in this area, the
Indians of this area were Woodland Indians, and the city of
Muncie isn’t named for that same non-existent chief.

Why Garfield?
The question is often asked why Garfield is used on the
Muncie Visitors Bureau logo and many other places around
town. The answer is quite simple…Jim Davis, the creator of
Garfield, lives and maintains his creation studio, PAWS, Inc.,
right here in Delaware County. We are very proud of being the
home of this famous feline.
On your next visit to Muncie, why not travel the Garfield
Statue Trail. Statues created during Garfield’s 25th birthday
celebration are located throughout the community. A map
with statue locations can be printed from our web site (www.
visitmuncie.org) located in the Art and Culture section.
Muncie Garfield plush in a variety of sizes and poses are

Roller Polo
“Roller polo” was a hockey game which developed into a popular league sport in several
Midwestern cities in the 1880s. Muncie had roller polo teams by 1885 and it was so popular it
became a high school sport. The glory days of this fad ended in the 1890s. Muncie was well
known for the manufacturing of roller skates. Mr. Thad A. Nelly, of Muncie, held a patent for
what was known as the “Muncie Roller Skate”.

Moore-Youse Home Museum
When Mary (Youse) Maxon died in 1982, she left her house and its contents to
the Delaware County Historical Society, with the provision that the organization
establish and maintain a museum of Delaware County History on the premises.
The Moore-Youse house became a home museum, and the Heritage Library
Resource Center was established next door. Three generations of MooreYouse women and their families lived in the house. Each of them added to the
exceptional mix of furniture, china, linens, and other household items, endowing
the home with its own unique charm. A number of paintings by Muncie artist J.
Ottis Adams also decorate the walls.
Rebecca Hackley originally owned the land on which the house was built, having
been given 672 acres by the U.S. government for work done by her father, William
Wells. William was the adopted son of Miami Indian Chief Little Turtle. The house
was built in 1849, by Anderson Carter, who purchased the land from Daniel
H. Andrews and his wife, Mary Jane Gilbert. Mary Jane was the daughter of
Goldsmith Gilbert, founder of Munseytown (Muncie).
The house first came into the Moore family after Samuel Porter Wilson purchased the two-story structure in April of 1864. Two
months later he sold it to his daughter, Clara Jane (Wilson) Moore. The Moore’s enlarged the four-room house in the 1870′s to
better accommodate their growing family. They added an entry hall, dining room, kitchen, an upstairs bathing area, a sitting room,
and another bedroom. Porches appeared after 1883. When Clara died in 1904, she left the house to her daughter, Mary Elizabeth
(Moore) Youse, a.k.a. Mame. When Mame died in 1943, she left the house to her daughter Mary (Youse) Maxon.

The Hemingray Glass Company
The Hemingray Glass Company was founded by Robert Hemingray and Ralph Gray in 1848
Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1888 the company announced it start production in Muncie, Indiana. By
1890 they were operational. They are well known for being the largest manufacturer of glass
insulators.
Fire struck the Muncie plant on June 18, 1892 and the factory had to be rebuilt. By 1911 they
were running at least four furnaces seven days a week. During the 1920s machines started
taking the place of people. Rather than lose employees Hemingray began to make other items
such as bottles.
The 1930s brought the great depression. In 1933 Hemingray was bought by Owens-Illinois. This
was the same year prohibition was repealed which meant more demand for bottles but the deal
to sell had already been made.
In 1937 the one billionth Hemingray insulator was made. From 1948 to 1951 the Hemingray
division of Owens-Illinois was known as American Structural Products. It became the Kimble
division of Owens-Illinois in 1952.
In the 1950s the demand for insulators started to decline. In the 1960s they started production of
face plates for televisions. By 1966 they were no longer producing insulators or glass blocks. In
1972 the plant closed its doors for good. On September 4, 2011 the Hemingray Glass Company
site became a historic site exactly 123 years after they moved to Muncie.
Imagine this…. The Hemingray Glass Company was cranking out 50,000,000 insulators per year
back in 1907! Want to learn more of their interesting history? Enjoy “The Hemingray Glass Co, A
Most Colorful History” – by Clarice Gordon.
