1913 Flood at Radnor. -Carrol County Historical Museum Collection-
Washout along the Indianapolis line near Radnor. The washout was caused by heavy rainfall which unsuccessfully attempted to drain through a small culvert under the right of way. It was plugged by debris, which dammed up the flow. When it went, it created a large crater and was replaced with a stone structure. August of 1957 or 1958.
