Goshen History
How Goshen Began
Originally established in 1874 as College Grove and renamed Goshen in 1876, the settlement grew into a bustling hub with stores, a flour mill, a blacksmith shop, and a schoolhouse that doubled as a church. Nestled where the White River meets Richland Creek at Twin Bridges, Goshen's agricultural heritage — hay fields, cattle farms, and equine facilities — has shaped the town's character for over a century.
Goshen Post Office
The Tisdale Store-Goshen Post Office at 119 Turtle Road was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its significance to the community's history. The Post Office has served the Goshen community for generations and stands as one of the town's most recognizable landmarks.
