(Richmond, IN)--Vandals have done major damage at a spot aimed to pay tribute to a significant part of Richmond’s legacy. It happened in the Starr-Gennett area of the gorge. There, 29 medallions pay tribute to some of the most iconic artists who recorded in Richmond decades ago – artists like Louis Armstrong and Guy Lombardo. Last week, vandals took the bronze from those medallions, causing estimated tens of thousands of dollars in damage. The Starr-Gennett Foundation indicated that reports have been filed with both the police and their insurance company.
