Movers & Stakers : Stories along the Indiana National Road

Description:	Sponsored by the National Scenic Byway Program of the Federal Highway Administration and Ball State University, this documentary features the nations first federally-funded interstate highway, which runs from Maryland to Illinois. The documentary focuses on the 156-mile segment, now called U.S. 40, that runs through Indiana from Richmond to Terre Haute. The film tells thirteen stories of people and places along the National Road, looks at the history of the road and both the people who traveled on it heading west and those who stayed and built the towns along the road. Topics discussed include the Huddleston Farmhouse Inn, Hulman & Company (the makers of Clabber Girl baking powder and owners of the Indianapolis Speedway), poet James Whitcomb Riley, bicycles and African American cyclist Major Taylor, Rising Hall (a restored Italianate house), log cabins, the coming of the Model T automobile, the jazz label Gennett Records, Overbeck decorative pottery, songwriter Paul Dresser, novelists Theodore Dreiser and Ross Franklin Lockridge, Jr., the Golden Ace Inn Irish pub in Indianapolis, and the effects of the development of the Interstate.
