No Backstamp.In the early 1900s, some people in Brown County thought their county seat should be moved to Helmsburg. It made sense, after all the Illinois Central Railroad ran right through it%u2014and Nashville had no rail service. Besides a railroad depot, the thriving little community also had a Post Office, two grocery stores, a restaurant, a livery stable, a sawmill, a hardware store, an undertaker, as well as a high school. However, after a tragic fire in 1925 destroyed much of the town, there was no more talk about moving the county seat. Arson was suspected, but never proven.Still, Helmsburg staged a comeback of sorts in 1963, when Tina and Kenneth Fleenor opened a new airfield%u2014Kenstin Manor Airport%u2014in conjunction with their planned Kenstin Manor tourist development. The only airport in Brown County, it consisted of one 2,800-foot grass runway, and was built by a local construction company owned by John McCoy. The landing strip was fully licensed by the Indiana Aeronautics Commission as a public airport. At its dedication, Bloomington%u2019s Jack Abram leapt from a plane flying at 10,000 feet, parachuted to the ground, and landed just in front of an assembled crowd of onlookers. Dignitaries on hand who witnessed his feat of daring, and incredible accuracy, included Robert Winters, the Director of the Indiana Aeronautics Commission, and J. Arthur York, Director of Indiana%u2019s Department of Tourism, who praised the new airport by saying, %u201cWe think it is a definite tourist asset to Indiana.%u201d The Fleenor%u2019s had big plans for their 100-acre Kenstin Manor project, and boasted it would offer sightseeing flights, surrey rides, bicycling, hayrides, hiking, camping, and picnicking. Unfortunately, Kenstin Manor did not become the successful tourist destination envisioned, and Helmsburg%u2019s brief come-back came to an end. The airport was last used for ultralights in the 1980s.
