Four Historical Markers Erected in Carmi for Sesquicentennial
Four blue and yellow aluminum historical markers were cast and installed in Carmi as part of the White County Sesquicentennial efforts. Wording was prepared by the local historical society, authenticated by the state, and funded by the Carmi Sesquicentennial Commission at a cost of 248.31 dollars. The markers note Carmi’s early sites including Miss Mary Jane Stewart’s home at 110 South Main Cross and Ratcliff Inn on Main Street where Abraham Lincoln lodged in 1840.
