Kurt West Garner Heritage Preservation

About K. W. Garner

Kurt West Garner’s roots go deep in the Hoosier state, following a lineage that stretches back before statehood in 1816. The Garners lived in Plymouth from 1997-2009 where they restored two homes, then purchased and restored a farmstead north of Plymouth, where they reside.

Kurt has an extensive resume of civic engagement in Marshall County, culminating with elected office on Plymouth’s City Council and the Marshall County Board of Commissioners, and was appointed Marshall County Historian. He is also heavily engaged with non-profits in the state relating to tourism development and the network of Indiana’s state scenic byways.

K. W. Garner has worked in 80/92 counties in Indiana
