92 County Walk- Dearborn County

This three dimensional structure has steam-piston-like objects that line the periphery of the piece, a tribute to the ornate steamboats that once traveled the nearby Ohio River. This structure resembles “floating palace” used to transport industrious Thomas Gaff’s goods. The porch of his two-story bears a more-than-passing resemblance of the deck of a steamboat. 

Designers Jeff Laramore and David Jameson Young of 2nd Globe, an Indianapolis–based artistic company designed all 92 and the county sculptures featured on the outside of the Indiana State Museum. Their designs narrate the counties’ famous natives, historically significant events, or their fabricated and installed by various Indiana sculptors, carvers, class workers, metal workers, and other artisans.
