Historic Enclave: Acton

  • Kind of reminds me of nearby Wanamaker, also along Southeastern Avenue in the middle of what looks like rural Indiana

  • Wanamaker has a pizza place that’s supposed to be good.

    We walked in to the diner in Acton to get some coffee. I think I heard a needle scrape across a record as we opened the door.

  • This place is a gem – complete with an “in-town” goat farm. I hope as Franklin township urbanizes, this place is able to remain quaint and maybe get some investment to restore the town.

  • I grew up in Acton and can tell you what these buildings once were
