Local Michiana historian, Matt Emery, gives incredible insight to the places we walk by, drive by, and see every day!  This week he shares all about the gorgeous Beiger Mansion in Mishawaka!  While Beiger is a common name you might hear in Michiana, Martin was known for the Mishawaka Woolen and Rubber Manufacturing Company, which became the Ball Band Rubber Company.  With his mass fortune, he built a stunning mansion, but unfortunately died before it was even completed!  The history will tell that when Susie Beiger died, she made sure the mansion was a place where elderly women had a place to call home, where all of their needs were met with security and dignity. The following years would lead to a sale of the mansion, and even a fire that nearly destroyed this local treasure. We appreciate all that Matt does to preserve and share in the history of this wonderful place we call home!

Dick Pfeil was motivated by a personal passion of the heart 15 years ago to create a Miracle Park in Michiana!  The Miracle League of Northern Indiana grew out of a long-time dream from Dick Pfeil, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist. As the father of two adult children with cerebral palsy, he understood the barriers people with disabilities face. After discovering a Miracle Field in Florida, Dick was immediately inspired. “I knew a Miracle Field must find a place in our community.”   15 years later, his dream is becoming a reality!! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Emery is in studio to share all about the history of the incredible local gem: Potawatomi Zoo!! While the Zoo is an incredible place for our community today, it was a much different place decades ago.  The zoo accepted animal donations, and in fact reached out to residents to help in their hunt for new raccoons! Unfortunately with free access to the animals in their enclosures, it wasn't always the safest place for the animals when people would give monkeys cigarettes and food!  Matt had the chance to share the history of the zoo with the current Executive Director, Josh Sisk, on the latest episode of his podcast!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Emery of Round The Bend Now & Then  shares details on what we now see today as Potawatomi Park and Zoo! Back in the day it went from being the local poor farm, the local fairgrounds, a tourist camp, and even an open air Tuberculosis camp!  "Anywhere you look in our city, anywhere you go, there are so many stories that are underneath what we see. And I think it's so cool that the same piece of ground that we walk on now meant different things to different generations."  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
