Florence Henderson, who played Carol Brady on the “Brady Bunch” was from Dale Indiana; But personally , I would say that my most motivational person from Indiana is President Abraham Lincoln, who grew up in a log cabin in the then Indiana wilderness, but what is now called Lincoln City, Indiana.

There is a National Park there (Lincoln Boyhood National Monument) and at his birthplace in Kentucky. When he moved to Illinois, He lived in another small town called New Salem (Now a State Park) and later lived in Springfield Illinois from 1837-1861 . The only home he ever owned (Springfield, Illinois) is also a National Park known as :(Lincoln Home National Historic Site) good luck !

Charles Goodyear was from the town of Woburn, Massachusetts. It’s a suburb of Boston located right next to Lexington, but it probably is unheard-of outside of Massachusetts, and even in parts of MA.
