Join author and photographer, Amanda Bennett-Cole, on an exploration of abandoned locations in Northern Indiana. The Cario Skywatch Tower, the country’s first rural watchtower, is still standing a short distance from her former high school. The Ground Observer Corps installed watchtowers during the Cold War as a line of defense to detect approaching enemy aircraft. Additionally, it would be impossible to discuss Northern Indiana without mentioning Gary, the remnants of what was once called the Magic City. Through colorful photography and descriptive text, discover these forgotten locations and more in Abandoned Northern Indiana: Skeletons in the Forest.
Amanda Bennett-Cole is based out of Lafayette, Indiana, where she pursues her interests in researching weird local history and recreationally trespassing locations. At this point, she has distinct preferences for every GIS property search system in the Midwest region and will make it known. Besides research and exploring, she uses her free time to play video games, learn horrific vintage recipes, and spend quality time with her family and friends.
