History

Willow Creek is the site of the Willow Creek Confrontation. According to a marker placed by the Indiana Historical Bureau, this occurred when the Michigan Central Railroad refused to allow a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line to cross its tracks. The Michigan Central briefly defied court orders and the state militia, but eventually a crossing was built at Willow Creek Station.
