Additional Description: In 1909, 1,727 people lived in the brickyard town of Veedersburg, Indiana. Two shale pits, one north and one south of town, supplied enough clay to operate two large brick yards owned by Culver. The south brickyard’s prime item made was the “paver”. An Oct. 1924 map photograph identifies 29 drying kilns. The west brickyard produced a number of clay products including ornamental bricks dried in 10 kilns.

In addition to the 500 Mile Track Veedersburg bricks built many places including the Chicago “Loop” and many other streets throughout the United States.
