Poland, Indiana

Poland is an unincorporated community in eastern Cass Township, Clay County, Indiana, United States.

The late Tom West,[5] 71, and his wife of 52 years, Marsha, started building a 57-foot (17 m) long, 33-ton stainless steel sailboat on an old tennis court next to his house.

West plans to build a full kitchen, sleeping quarters for 12 people, two bathrooms, a lounge and a navigation center.

After completion, Tom and Marsha plan to launch the boat in Kentucky Lake, then take the Tombigbee waterway to the Gulf of Mexico, then on to see the world.

Indiana became a state in 1816, and was settled from the bottom up by land-hungry, adamantly independent Scotch-Irish, German and English folk with Appalachian frontier roots, including veterans of the American Revolution and the War of 1812.

The Long House Lodge is a 9,000 square foot facility that opens up to a 50-acre private lake through a large, inviting porch.

The lodge includes a large kitchen, dance floor, game room with a pool table, ping pong and fooseball.

These falls resulted from two pre-glacial bedrock ridges buried beneath ancient lake sediments of the Illinoisan glacial period.
