Howard County

Howard.jpgExt. 1844
(Tilghaman A. Howard)

The first canned tomato juice, the first mechanical corn picker and the first rubber tire pumped full of air originated in Howard County. These highlights, in addition to Kokomo’s Elwood Haynes, inventor of the spark-ignition, has earned Kokomo the title “City of Firsts.”
The Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites have a large collection of paintings by Indiana Dunes enthusiast Frank Dudley because the state received one painting per year as "rent" while Dudley was living at the Dunes after his property became part of the state park.
