WABASH, Ind. – A strip of land just west of the Historic Eagles Theatre was given to the Honeywell Foundation by the City of Wabash on Thursday afternoon.
The land, 10-feet-wide by 132-feet long, will be part of the theatre’s renovation project under the Stellar Program, the Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety learned.
The land was given to the city in 1905 by the Eagles Lodge, Mayor Scott Long said. The land was never dedicated to anything by the city.
Under statute, the city can give the land to a non-profit organization that is dedicated to such things as education.
