Marntinsville, Indiana was a small, quiet community until
1889 when pure mineral water was discovered while drilling
for oil. Martinsville quickly became known as the "Artesian City."
Numerous spas and sanatoriums were quickly opened and drew
thousands of afflicted people to partake of its curative
waters. At the same time Billy Richardson was selling
handcrafted hickory furniture from a horse-drawn wagon
at the town square. It didn't take long for the numerous
visitors to realize how comfortable, sturdy, and beautiful this hickory furniture was. One such person
formed a partnership with Richardson and started the Old Hickory Chair Company in an abandoned church building in 1892. By the early 1900's, Old Hickory was being shipped all over North America. The historic
furniture is now seen all over the world in home, cabins,
cottages, lodges, restaurants and clubs.
