  • Exploring the History of the Knox County Poor Farm
    Sep 27 2024

    We’re giving you a first hand listen of two new digital series we are rolling out online! We’ll show you the premiere episode of History Vault, which takes you through the origin story of the property in Knox County known as the “Poor Farm.” Find out how this facility started and what it has been used for over the last 142 years.

    Then we will debut our other new digital series: Trails & Crossroads. We’ll show you Indiana’s very first state park and we’ll take a look at how this park helped set the standard for our state parks more than a hundred years ago.

    Our in-studio guest, Chaze Patrick, will join us to explain how INvets is working in service of Indiana’s veterans across the state. We’ll find out how this organization is bridging workforce gaps for those who have served their country and how employers can utilize its services within their operation.

    Join us for these stories and more on the next First City Focus — Saturday night at 7:30pm on Vincennes PBS!
