On April 9th, 2011, a flatbed truck carrying four pieces of steel from the wreckage of the World Trade Center
passed through Preble County on its way to Indiana, destined for a memorial in Indianapolis.
This is the story of the journey of that steel. From a secluded corner of LaGuardia International Airport through Preble County, eventually making it's way to Indianpolis.
Preble life had the opportunity to speak with Greg Hess, the Indianapolis fire fighter, so driven to keep the memory of September 11th, 2001 alive.
A hand reaches to touch history. Richmond, Indiana
April 9th, 2011. Thousands stood in the rain for
hours to pay respect to the 2974 Americans killed in
New York.
This simple film captured the convoy of thousands of
motorcycles, fire vehicles and police cars as they drove through Preble County on I-70 on a rainy, foggy, Saturday morning. Thanks to Ted Allen for braving the elements to film this event for Preble Life.
Welcome to Byrd Woodworking. Danny Byrd is a great example of an American entreprenuer. This craftsman creates beautiful reproduction and custom furniture right here in Preble County. Turn the page and meet

It occured to me that we have really nice roadside parks just inside the Preble County border on I-70, East and West. I visited the Eastbound facility and it's a
pretty nice place. However I didn't see
anything about Preble County
When I walked inside I saw exactly what I hoped I would see; bare walls. My idea is why don't we put a few "VISIT PREBLE COUNTY" signs or banners inside this road side park telling visitors about the
sites and history of our beautiful county?
Look at the gigantic bare spot right above the door of
the Info room. (The image is skewed due to the lens
I used to take this photo) however, the space is large enough to put a nice banner or graphic about our county. Check out the "Photoshopped" example!
