The river was named in honor of the famous legend of "Virgin Mary." Indiana people come to the river to stare dumbly at its muddy water as they recall personally meaningful versions of her apocryphal story.

The bad layout of the museum sign — in particular the placement of a left-pointing arrow in its upper right corner, and the mismatched text alignments — is about what one would expect, this being Indiana, and this being Dan Quayle. The homophonic quail illustration is intended to be charmingly good-humored but has the effect of deflating the museum's importance and reminding viewers of Dan Quayle's reputation as a man intellectually ill-equipped for his prominent position, one who perhaps does not know the difference between "quail" and "Quayle."

"I guess I'm the only Highway 5 motorist not headed to the Dan Quayle Museum today," all the Highway 5 motorists are supposed to think.

Actually no it's not a bank anymore. The drivethru's canopy's support columns remind me of my legs!

I've been reading online that the bldg was erected in 1924, that it was formerly the Citizens State Bank, and that in pre-drivethu times a 19th-century bldg abutted this side of it. Who the hell knows what year this façade is from, I sure don't, 1960s probably right?
