MISHAWAKA, Indiana — Great Depression-era stonework has been unearthed at Eberhart-Petro Golf Course for the second straight year, exposing results of the historic Works Progress Administration program that provided jobs to millions of Americans in the midst of the depression.
Mayor Dave Wood announced in a recent social media post that an island, stone bridge, a fork of a creek and cobblestone paths were found during routine maintenance of Willow Creek by crews with the St. Joseph County Drainage Board.
About a year ago, stone walls built in the 1930s through the WPA on Hole No. 16, were discovered when an underground pipe that carried Willow Creek began to fail.
