Famous Locations

The boundary, stated once at the top

The boundary is stated plainly, once, here: the world-famous ground of this county stands outside Lakeville's limits and is claimed in this section at boundary size, never annexed. That ground is the University of Notre Dame…

The famous-grave test, run over every ground in the cemeteries file

Eight grounds read against the test

No famous grave stands in Lakeville or Union Township, and no grave here was ever moved for fame — the test is run ground by ground so the negative is a finding, not an omission. The cemeteries file works eight grounds: Lakeville…

Industrial fame on the ground: the proving ground, the tree sign, and where the signature objects live

The Studebaker test applied to this ground; Hoosier's share stated

Lakeville has no proving ground; the county's famous one stands west of South Bend, and printing the test whole requires saying both halves. Hoosier Racing Tire's Lakeville ground is a headquarters and distribution centre on…

The National Historic Landmark test for this ground

The Park Service list for Indiana, read for St. Joseph County

The saved-for-a-dollar test: a rescued landmark on this ground?

Tested against the heritage record, whole

No building on this ground was ever saved for a dollar, rescued by a preservation buyer, or spared at the last hour in any carrier reached — and the heritage record is complete enough for that negative to print as the item's true…

Fame without a findable ground, printed as such

Two of Lakeville's famous locations are famous without a ground a visitor can stand on, and this article frames them as the checklist's no-ground case, expressly. The first is Earl's tavern site: a documented stand on the…

Closing confusions: places filed under the wrong Lakeville, corrected one by one

The locations leg closes by correcting, place by place, the confusions the rest of the build dispelled one at a time. First: Lakeville, Minnesota — a city many times this town's size, whose museums, cases, businesses and…
