Re: French Lick Indiana
Jim,
I don't have a list or any chips, but there is a guy in an antique shop in town that can give you as much of the local history of French Lick you could want. There's only a couple shops in town. You'll find it. This guy is a weath of info on th old illegal clubs. Almost all were back room private clubs. I was told showing your French Lick Hotel key would get you in. He didn't have any chips that had a club name, just some generic inlaids chips that were used there in the old days. He said from 1900 into the 20s there were at least 50 bars, clubs and small hotels that had gambling. Good luck. be sure to see the West Baden Hotel up the road. It's really something.
