ON THE COVER:

It’s about art, music, family fun, and a great cause — providing the hungry in the New Albany community with hearty, hot meals through the weekly St. Paul’s Shep-herd’s Kitchen.

The 10th Annual Art on the Parish Green festival is Saturday, June 11, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, June 12, noon to 5 p.m., at historic St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at 11th and Main streets in New Albany. The popular festival is historically always at capacity with artists and vendors weeks prior to the event.

“Artists and guests alike really seem to love our relaxed historic New Albany vibe. We have a wide variety of fine arts and crafts

but the fair also isn’t overwhelming in scope. It is comfortably strollable, with places to sit and relax, and plenty of adequate free park-ing is nearby. There are activities for kids to enjoy, too,” Kathy Copas, with the Art on the Parish Green committee, said in a news release.

Art on the Parish Green features nearly 100 juried fine arts and crafts vendors, a food court, a beer/wine garden, live music, a YMCA Kids Art Place, Silly Safaris animals; old-fashioned carriage rides through historic New Albany, and a Jazz Mass on the Grass Sunday 10 a.m. Major sponsors include the City of New Albany, Horseshoe Foundation, Develop New Albany, Ob/Gyn Associates of Southern Indiana, state Rep. Ed Clere, R-New Albany, the Floyd County Family YMCA, Your Community Bank, New Albanian Brewing Company, River City Winery, and Underproduction Multi-Media.

In today’s technology-driven age it’s easy to lose sight on something as simple as eye contact. How often are we glued to our

phones at the dinner table, or even when walk-ing down the street?

A new attraction in New Albany is a gentle reminder of a time when interacting with your neighbor actually meant speaking words.

A one-mile hiking trail called the Silver Hills Historic Nature Trail and Wildlife Sanc-tuary will take hikers through a loop showing off the 16 acres of the historic neighborhood.

It’s a throwback to the days when people, even before the automobile, kept in the know while waiting for the trolley car, which was the staring at your cellphone of the late 1800s and early 1900s in Southern Indiana.

Spearheaded by Kelly Carnighan, the trial evokes memories of a simpler time. Before Carnighan and

other volunteers rolled up their sleeves “the trolley car line that once ran so prominently is obsolete and the area is vacant, filled with trees and wildlife. Its history is hidden from view,” as writer Tara Schmelz puts it in today’s cover story. That’s about to change.

Visitors to the trail and sanctuary will be able to read place markers, showing what was once there and telling the story of the history of the area, bringing those gone days back to life. The trail will officially open to the public

at 11 a.m. June 18.So be sure to turn off the cellphone June 18 and step

back in time.

NEW ALBANY — Many people look to the Internet to

catch up with friends and hear what’s going on.

But before that came about, even before the automobile,

people kept in the know via another way — waiting for the

trolley car.

“Right now, we are standing at the intersection of what

was happening between 1871 and 1932. This is where it all

happened,” said volunteer Bob Caesar, as he stood at what will

be the start of a new community hiking trail at the foot of Silver

Hills, in New Albany. “That was the Internet and the social

media of 1891.”

“The trolley car line was so cool. It was the epicenter of so-

cial gatherings,” said Kelly Carnighan. “People looked forward

to it. They could meet their neighbors while they were sitting

in the cars … It was the Facebook of that time. When it shut

down, people were devastated.”

Driving up Spring Street to Silver Hills, the trolley car line

that once ran so prominently is obsolete and the area is vacant,

filled with trees and wildlife. Its history is hidden from view.Carnighan is hoping to change that. He has since leased the

property and gathered up six friends, all retirees in their 60s,

to put in the hours and sweat equity to bring the area back to

life, with a one-mile hiking trail showing off the what was of

Silver Hills. The Silver Hills Historic Nature Trail and Wildlife

Sanctuary will take hikers through a loop showing off the 16

acres. People will be able to read place markers, showing what

was once there and telling the story of the history of the area,

bringing those gone days back to life. The trail will officially open to the public June 18.

“We are able to talk still to first person people who have experienced all this, but they are in their 90s now. [The history

is] just being lost every day,” Caesar said of previous residents

aging and passing on.

“It’s our heritage that defines our character. It really is. If we lose that heritage, then we lose who we are. Where we come

from,” Carnighan said. “We can’t rebuild this. We can’t put the

trolley car back in, as much as we’d like to, but what we can do

is illustrate what was there. It is part of our heritage.”

Carnighan said that trolley car line opened in 1891, serving

Silver Hills exclusively for 14 years. It was a way for people

to go from the foot of Spring Street up to the top, where people

bragged about the view of Louisville and cool breezes.

“This opened up the opportunity to get people up to Silver

Hills and develop the property,” Carnighan explained.

There were plans to build houses and even a hotel — which

never came to fruition due to the Great Financial Crisis of 1893,

Carnighan said. With that in the past and the growth of buses

and automobiles, the trolley car line became obsolete. It closed

in 1932.

ENTERTAINMENT This week's entertainment releases

Did you know that a day at the

theatre was once considered to be like

modern day tailgating? In celebration

of Shakespeare’s First Folio’s arrival

to the Kentuckiana region, The Cul-

bertson Mansion State Historic Site

invites you to enjoy a day of Shake-

spearian tailgating at the Culbertson

Mansion.

The Culbertson Mansion, an

Indiana State Historic Site and crown

jewel of New Albany, is hosting its

annual Garden Party on Saturday,

June 11.

At 2 p.m. there will be a lecture

presented by John Gatton of Bel-

larmine University: Learn how

Shakespearian theatre was influenced and adapted in the United States,

Louisville and Southern Indiana.

The lecture is free with donations

gladly accepted.

Beginning at 4 p.m., admission

is $10 per person. Games, outdoor

activities, live music, refreshments

and a cash bar will be available. The

Culbertson Mansion will also be open

for self-guided tours.

“In 2015, the Frazier History

Museum & University of Louisville

approached dozens of community

partners to help promote the arrival of

Shakespeare’s First Folio to Louis-

ville this fall,” Jessica Stavros, site

manager at the Culbertson Mansion,

said in a news release. “It was the

perfect opportunity to incorporate a

Shakespearean theme into our annual

garden party, especially once we

learned about the culture of Shake-

speare performances. This event is

also one of our most popular, as it

gives the Mansion and New Albany

the chance to connect with our friends

across the river and celebrate our

shared history.”

“We are so thankful to the spon-

sors, who believe in the tremendous

value of the Culbertson Mansion

and its programming. All proceeds

benefit the site — truly one of the most remarkable historic homes in the

region,” Stavros added.

“No one could see very far ahead that electric street cars are still the most efficient form of transportation,” Carnighan said. “They’re environmentally friendly, no exhaust and electrically driven.”

Also on the trail, hikers can learn about renowned Indiana pioneer painter, George W. Morrison, who lived in New Albany. He built a road that traveled through the area of the trail and an iron bridge, of which just a stone column remains. That road and bridge were closed after the 1937 flood caused them to collapse.

Thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Horseshoe Founda-tion of Floyd County and about $15,000 in private donations, the trail will be soon com-plete and open to the public, with the grand opening scheduled for June 18 at 11 a.m.

New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan said the trail is something that will definitely benefit the city.

“When it’s unveiled, the whole community can be proud of the work they did,” Gahan said.

“It’s so unique to Silver Hills and really the community in general. And it makes a really nice trail,” Carnighan said.

“We just hope people will enjoy the trail and enjoy the history. People who want to take a minute to read the signs will find it very educational,” Caesar said. “Hopefully, it’ll get people inter-ested in their own history and where they’ve come from. Don’t lose it to time.”

And with completion of the trail nearing, the excitement is building.

“I’m just a kid in a candy store. It is so fantastic,” Caesar said with a smile.
