A fun time was had by all on Saturday, September 15th when the Antiquarians visited Child’s Farm just north of Culver. There was laughter and friendly competition between the men and women as butter was churned by both parties to see who could make the best looking butter. The discussions still continues on that subject but all agreed that the meal was delicious. A table setting of blue willow and assorted pottery was beautifully displayed on the outdoor picnic tables surrounded by the newly planted orchard. Homemade egg noodles were made for the beef cooking in an old fashion pot over the open fire. The beef and noodles were served with maple glazed carrots, dill green beans, and cornbread with the freshly churned butter. Sweets rounded out the meal consisting of rose cup cake and hard gingerbread. To complete our experience of 1850’s life on the farm, a weaving demonstration was given by Sue Child along with wool carding and spinning of of the wool. To make the perfect fall day complete, a hayride was enjoyed by all.

On Dec. 28, 1985, the Maxinkuckee Village lost one of the last vestiges of its formerly active business community, the Manor Market at the northeast corner of East Shore Drive and 18B Road, to fire.
The market, known in the 1930s as Van’s, changed its name to R & J circa 1947. Apartments were also added, of the same name. In 1964, the store became Manor Market. Firemen were unable to save either structure, at 1355 East Shore Drive, in the wintertime fire in 1985, and the location remains a vacant lot today.

At least as far back as the 1950s — if not earlier — Santa Claus helped kick off the Christmas season each December by arriving in town on a Culver fire truck, often greeting children at the annual children’s Christmas party at the station afterwards.

Culver Military Academy’s Trunk Room began its life as theTabernacle for the chautauqua hotel Henry Harrison Culver built at the site of today’s Main Barracks, for the 1889 chautauqua season (famous evangelist T. Dewitt Talmage spoke there). It became the Culver Military Academy gymnasium when the school was started in 1894, and the school’s dining hall when the brick gymnasium was built in 1907. When the current dining hall began its life in 1911, the former Tabernacle was moved and became a trunk room, housing cadet luggage and belongings.
In January, 1918, a stovepipe fire started the conflagration, which consumed the building in just 30 minutes.
