Star City Centennial 1959

This web site is a dedication to the small Indiana town that raised a lot of us - Star City, located in Pulaski County.  In 1959, Star City celebrated its centennial.  The home page of this web site contains photos and news clips from the 1959 Star City Centennial. 

 

Other historic and more recent photos of Star City can be found on the Sesquicentennial site at : http://starcitysequicentennial2009.shutterfly.com/

 

Note:  Opening of the Centennial Time Capsule took place on Sunday, May 17 at 2:00 p.m. at the Fire Department.  See the above web site for photos from that event.

 

 

We continue to look for more photos.  Please contact me at kathit@pwrtc.com if you would like to add photos to this site.
