This historic area of town was the place where lawyers, doctors, industrialists and even a mayor would come to build their turn of the century residences.

Recently in 2005, Sycamore Street (SR 22) began a complete redesign resulting in an addition of a center turn lane, as well as old-fashioned lighting and ornamental trees with construction ending in late 2006.

The Howard County Museum is open during the week and showcases local history including information about the founders of Kokomo, and the Seiberlings.

[1] The Elliott House is located next door to the Seiberling Mansion and is home to the Kokomo Symphonic Society, as well as a few professional offices.

Activities held at the Howard County Historical Society would include horse-drawn carriage rides, pictures with Santa Claus, a gingerbread competition, as well as touring the decorated mansion.
