Geocache Description:


A 50-man workforce once produced 54,000 handmade bricks a day at the Medora Brick Plant. Founded in 1904 the company built a plant and began brick production in about 1906.

The plant operated between nine and ten months out of the year producing standard and custom brick until it officially closed January 31, 1992.

In 2004, the site was named to the 10 Most Endangered Landmarks list by the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. Ten domed kilns remain with 5 stacks (the 'five sisters') along with four small buildings.
