FUNCTIONS OF THE atGEIST VISITOR CENTER

1. Place of Geist Museum
Many artifacts circa the beginning of Geist Reservoir area on display, including antique maps of the area and photos from the 1800's. Geist Reservoir is interesting for many reasons. For one, it is Indiana 's largest manmade lake, and second largest body of water, after Lake Wawasee . The Geist area is noteworthy for its wealthy and famous residents, especially the reservoir's shoreline inhabitants who include renowned professional sports figures, politicians, local media personalities, and businesspeople. The history of the reservoir is no less interesting; Clarence Geist, a former owner of the Indianapolis Water Company forsaw a deficit in Indianapolis's water supply, and envisioned "Geist Reservoir" to preemptively address the problem - but not without a casualty. Yes, there was an unmitigated casualty in the creation of the recreational and luxurious living locality known as Geist Reservoir. It was a tiny hamlet called Germantown , whose parcels were systematically bought up by Clarence Geist in the 1930's, then put to their death in 1943 when Fall Creek was dammed to create the reservoir.
