Tippecanoe Place, a positively extravigant mansion built by the Studebakers. This is all Indiana fieldstone. The name comes somewhat from this being the campground of the Miami Indian chief, Tippecanoe; and also from whence came the presidential campaign slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler too", who was friends with the Studebaker family.
Thus, this is Tippecanoe. We had a positively wonderful lunch here and then toured the entire home. On the way to South Bend last Sunday, I asked Chris what South Bend was known for and how it got it's start. Now I know: for the Oliver chilled plows, which revolutionized farming back in the 19th century, and for the Studebaker carriages, wagons and cars, which were all made here, with the motivational slogan "always give more than you promise".
At the Oliver Inn, where we stayed, next door....this "pianist" played during our breakfasts.
And here is another butler who looked after our every need....
