Senior Center Staff in 1981
The Central Indiana Council on Aging awarded the city of Beech
Grove a grant for transportation and outreach. With the city’s match, the Beech
Grove Senior Center became a reality in a tiny room located in city hall. In
1976, a permanent building was then purchased, and in subsequent years
facilities, services, and outreach have expanded.

The city also purchased an old high school bus in 1978,
which was reconditioned and upgraded by employees at the Amtrak Shops as a
community service, demonstrating the continuing relationship between the Shops
and the city.
