HISTORIC LADOGA, INC.-OLD NORMAL SCHOOL

LADOGA, IN

Spinning 'Round My last chase of the DREI 101 was a little different than normal, in that the train didn't immediately tie down in Chrisman - instead, we got a little 'rare mileage' out to Dana, IN. Here, 101 set out a string of grain hoppers for the elevator, leaving it to return to Chrisman - where half of their train had been left behind - with just a handful of cars left. Poking out behind the shed to the left is CRGX 605, a strangely RF&P-looking ex-IC SD20, itself also a former UP SD24. Though not easily visible, it was a neat unit to spot to say the least. From here on, we'd be returning to Chrisman once again, this time with the former SD45s leading the charge instead.

Historic Ladoga, Inc.-Old Normal School is a historic building located in the town of Ladoga, Indiana. The building was originally constructed in 1896 as a school for teacher training, known as the Ladoga Normal School. It was founded by John H. Leader, a prominent educator in the area.

The building is a two-story brick structure with a large front porch and a distinctive clock tower. It features a mix of architectural styles, including Romanesque Revival and Classical Revival. The interior of the building includes a large auditorium, classrooms, and offices.

The Ladoga Normal School operated until 1935, after which the building was used for various purposes, including as a community center and a library. In 1975, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Today, the building is owned and maintained by Historic Ladoga, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Ladoga and the surrounding area. The organization hosts events and tours of the building, as well as offering rental space for community events. The Old Normal School is a significant landmark in the town of Ladoga, serving as a reminder of its rich history and educational legacy.
