It has been more than years since African-American settlers put down roots that grew into a unique, small farming community in southwestern Indiana. Two centuries later, Lyles Station may be the last of the roughly black farming settlements that popped up in the Midwest in the s — and its little-known story is among those spotlighted on a national stage at the Smithsonian Institution's new National Museum of African American History and Culture.
Stanley Madison, a fifth-generation Lyles Station farmer who donated his great-grandfather's scythe to the museum's collection, was among those on the National Mall in Washington, D. Madison and about 40 residents and descendants of early settler families, representing nearly a quarter of the population of Lyles Station, chartered a bus to attend the ceremony.
The group will tour the museum Sunday. Madison, 66, said the event was a highlight of his life, and the others there with ties to Lyles Station felt the same way. It's never been recognized and never been told. President Obama touched on the same theme in his brief speech. He said the museum tells an essential part of the American story, but "one that has at times been overlooked.
The president called the new museum a remarkable tribute and said he hopes to someday return, maybe with grandchildren, to tour the facility.
