As the first and oldest town in Indiana; Vincennes is rich in history. It had an important role in the American Revolution and later was the capital of the Indiana Territory. This book focuses on a more recent time; the years between 1930 and 1960�the period of the Great Depression; the New Deal; World War II; and the post-war years. Fascinating views of stores; clubs; theaters; churches; factories; groceries; and gas stations; many of which are gone or greatly changed; are captured in Vincennes: 1930-1960. Some events in Vincennes remain the same; such as the Fourth of July fireworks display at the Clark Memorial and the high-school homecoming parade; and these images are displayed within these pages as well.
