t` ` 9r Chad es H. Bmleu- <br />.VNAVARRE PLACE derives its name from the fact <br />• : � <br />that <br />that in this locality was the home of Pierre Frieschutz <br />A `I Navarre, the white man whose presence here as long ago as <br />,, 1, <br />1820 marks the very beginning of the annals of our city. His <br />L residence, a substantial and well preserved log house, has sur- <br />vived to our day and has been given to ,the Northern Indi- <br />ana Historical Society. A lady who has resided In South <br />Bend for 77 years, and whose childhood was passed in a home <br />on a bluff overlooking all this region of Navarre Place, recalls the <br />scene of those first days. She remembers that when she was a <br />little girl it was her delight to run to the edge of the bluff in the <br />morning to see the lodges that had been set up on the fair plain <br />below; for the Indians were continually coming and going, some- <br />times large bands of them and sometimes only a family or two. <br />Bartlett's Navarre Place booklet, page 3.
