📜 This Week in Indiana History 📜

Humorist Kin Hubbard Passes Away (1930)

This week in Indiana history we remember the Dec. 26, 1930 passing of Kin Hubbard, whose comics featured Abe Martin of Brown County and appeared in hundreds of newspapers across America for nearly 30 years. Through Martin’s sharp observations, dry wit, and sayings, Hubbard captured a Hoosier wisdom that resonated with readers nationwide.

Hubbard’s influence and legacy are still felt throughout Brown County. The lodge at Brown County State Park is named for his beloved Abe Martin creation, and the character’s likeness appears on the welcome sign in Nashville, Ind. These tributes reflect how deeply Hubbard’s work shaped the identity of the region and how his humor connects generations to Indiana’s traditions and values.

Illinois’ loss could be Indiana’s gain.

Last Wednesday, just a few days before the Chicago Bears’ improbable 22-16 overtime win against the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field, Bears president and CEO Kevin Warren released a letter that sent shockwaves through the NFL world. For the first time ever, the team officially confirmed it is exploring sites for a new stadium outside Illinois. The area mentioned specifically? Northwest Indiana.

Indiana with two NFL teams? No, this is not a drill.

Here’s the full scoop on Warren’s letter and why northwest Indiana is seriously being considered as the future home of the Bears.
