Did You Know...?

It was announced that on February 28, 1945, Illinois Central passenger trains would cease running from Indianapolis to Effingham.  The post office then announced that they would begin a mail truck service beginning March 1 of that year, following the same schedule as the I.C. passenger trains. 

More information about Palestine's history can be found in books and newspaper articles here at the library.
