Honda plans to build a $550 million automobile plant on a 1,700-acre tract in Decatur County, Indiana, near Greensburg, 50 miles southeast of Indianapolis. The plant will begin mass production of fuel efficient 4-cylinder vehicles in fall 2008, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles and employment of 2,000 associates. Major processes performed at the Indiana plant will include stamping, welding, painting, plastic injection molding and assembly operations. Hiring plans will be announced in the coming months.

“We believe the great state of Indiana has what we need to continue this success – an outstanding community of people, excellent transportation systems, and the necessary infrastructure to support industry. It is an ideal location in the Midwest both for our network of parts suppliers and as a central location for all of our customers across the country,” said Koichi Kondo, president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., and chief operating officer of Honda’s North America Region operations.

In the early in the 1870's, citizens noticed what seemed to be a small sprig on the northwest corner of the Courthouse tower. Soon it became evident that the small sprig was growing. So too was interest in this phenomenon.

Residents regarded the growth as a rare freak of nature. That explanation was quickly refuted by the appearance of more sprouts on the tower. Finally, five were counted, making a small grove growing at an altitude 110 feet above courthouse-lawn level.

County officials became fearful the trees might cause permanent damage to the tower roof. In 1888, a steeplejack was employed to help workers ascend the building and remove some of the shrubs. Of the two remaining, one attained a height of about 15 feet with diameter of almost five inches at the base. This tree continued to weather the storms of different seasons for years.

At the same time, another tree made an appearance on the southeast corner of the tower, and in a few years grew to a considerable height. And during its maturation, another tree sprung up on the southwest corner. These two new trees endured, as did the county's legacy as the home of the Courthouse tree.

Over time, the process has been repeated, leaving a tree sitting atop the Courthouse for more than 130 straight years. The tree you see today is No. 11 in the long line of Courthouse trees.

The Smithsonian Institute of Washington, D.C. was called upon for a scientific classification. The determination: the trees were large tooth aspens. No definitive explanation has been offered as to how the seeds of the first trees found their way to their lofty position.

The first Courthouse in Decatur County was actually a home. According to the Lewis Harding's "A History of Decatur County" which was published in 1915, it was on May 14, 1822 when the first board of county commissioners met at the house of Thomas Hendricks, a double log building. The commissioner's court records show the specifications that were drawn up for a proposed courthouse. On March 7, the order was issued to receive bids for the construction on the building on the Public Square in the downtown of Greensburg.

Today, the Courthouse is the county's most recognizable building and is noteworthy for more than just the tree on its roof. It has been a popular place for political hopefuls to stump for votes. One of the most famous visits to the downtown square was made by presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy in May of 1968, just one month before his assassination.

It was on the Courthouse lawn that brave men camped out to defend their families from threats of possible attack by Morgan's Raiders.

Recreation, Historic Points of Interest, Museums, Festivals, Entertainment, Agri-Tourism and Great Lodging are just some of the reasons you should visit Greensburg and Decatur County.
