Information

The first home was build in Nappanee in 1875. New Paris had written into the Goshen Democrat claiming that Locke's description of Nappanee excited New Paris. C.D. Volkman was so excited that he tore down his steel plow manufacturing establishment and dwelling house and put them onto wagons and started for the new "Eldorado".
