The Putnam County Small Communities Historic Districts and Walking Brochures Project seeks National Register recognition of 6 small communities (Cloverdale, Roachdale, Bainbridge, Russellville, Fillmore and Putnamville). Putnam County has 4 NR listed districts and one pending approval, but all are in Greencastle. These 6 small towns are representative of a quintessential small town Hoosier lifestyle. Their businesses and homes reflect the self-reliance and dedication of residents to their community over the breadth of time. HD recognition and Walking Brochures will greatly enhance local knowledge and pride; enhance the opportunity for these communities and the County to market these towns to both tourists and prospective residents and open funding avenues not now available. A similar approach in Greencastle with HD’s and Walking Brochures was very positively received by both residents and visitors.
