Pendleton Historic District
Pendleton Historic District, 19th-century business district in Pendleton, Indiana.
The district spans 198 acres along Fall Creek, featuring Federal, Greek Revival, and American Craftsman architectural styles throughout its residential and commercial structures.
In 1825, the district marked a pivotal moment in Native American rights when authorities executed perpetrators of the Fall Creek Massacre near the waterfalls.
Frederick Douglass delivered an anti-slavery speech in 1843, which local Quakers protected from an armed mob, establishing lasting connections with the abolitionist.
The Historic Preservation Commission reviews all exterior modifications to buildings within the district during monthly meetings at Pendleton Town Hall.
The natural pool beneath Fall Creek's waterfalls became Indiana's premier swimming location in 1923, transforming the area into a recreational destination.
