Introduction to Kimmell<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kimmell is located Noble County, Indiana. The first county seat was in Kimmell, which was known as Sparta at the time. The town is located on the old Fort Wayne-to-Goshen Trail, which later became part of American\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first coast-to-coast auto highway, the Lincoln Highway, in 1913, and is now US 33.<\/p>\n

Today, Gaerte Grain is the hub of rural Kimmell, with huge silos standing as monuments to this tiny town’s rural past and present. Once one of the largest distribution points in the nation for onions, old warehouses still line the tracks of the B & O railroad. Noble County’s soil made both onion and mint crops some of the country’s best. Popcorn was also stored and shipped from Kimmell warehouses, but today’s commodities are corn and soybeans.<\/p>\n

Noble County is also home to the last remaining brick paver section of the Lincoln Highway in Indiana, just south of Ligonier.<\/p>\n

Just to the south of Kimmell is the Kimmell House Inn, a stately solid brick Italianate mansion built in 1876. For more information and for driving directions, visit kimmellhouseinn.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
