DID YOU KNOW: John Dillinger and other gangsters were in the news in the 1930s. The police booth was finished in 1939, four years after Dillinger’s death, to answer phone calls and dispatch police cars. Officers were on duty in the booth 24/7, year-round to provide an extra security blanket for the community.
The police booth is open for public viewing during First Friday celebrations from 5pm - 8pm. Individual and group tours may be scheduled by calling the Goshen Historical Society. Courthouse tours upon request. For more information visit: goshenhistorical.org
