Part (c) head — state and regional halls, boundary

Lead: Indiana keeps its state sporting memory in other cities' buildings, and this section prints those halls to their own cities first: basketball in New Castle, football in Richmond, track and field and cross country in Terre Haute, baseball in Jasper.

That boundary is not a courtesy; it is the fact that organises the search. A New Carlisle name in the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame is a New Carlisle name honoured in Henry County, in a museum at One Hall of Fame Court, New Castle, that the hall itself notes has called New Castle and Henry County home for thirty-five years, with a 6,600-square-foot expansion opened in December 2024. A New Carlisle name in the Indiana Football Hall of Fame is honoured under the Indiana Football Coaches Association, whose hall bought the former United States Post Office at 815 North A Street, Richmond, in July 1974 for $98,000 — and whose Richmond museum, the record must also carry, closed after the pandemic years and the building was sold in December 2021, the hall continuing as a roster and an induction course without its building. Track's museum is in Terre Haute, at the LaVern Gibson ground, free and open weekdays as its own site states it. Baseball's hall is in Jasper, on the Vincennes University Jasper campus, selected by the Indiana High School Baseball Coaches Association, with first inductions in July 1979. The next article works those four rosters, and any other Indiana hall whose roster yields a town name, for New Carlisle, Olive Township and New Prairie names, at roster size — the names printed if the rosters carry them, and the tested blank printed, hall by hall, where they do not.
