Completed Projects
In 2018, construction was completed on the Historic Cannelton Gateway Sign Project located at the intersection of Highways 66 & 237 at the foot of the Bob Cummings Lincoln Trail Bridge. The sign design was inspired by our National Historic Landmark, the Indiana Cotton Mill. The project was partially funded with an Indiana Office of Tourism Development Marketing Asset Grant.
In 2021 the Historic Downtown Christmas Decorations Campaign was completed when the remaining commercial Christmas decorations were purchased for light poles in downtown Cannelton. This final phase of the campaign was accelerated by the $3,000 Friends of Perry County grant funded through the Perry County Community Foundation.
