At the end of the last Ice Age, advancing glaciers stopped short of reaching Martin County. When the ice melted, rushing water carved intricate formations in the rock. Not only visually stunning, the area contains a vast deposit of gypsum and stone. We produced some of the best wallboard (aka drywall) in the world right here in southern Indiana.
