Gravity Hill
Mooresville, Indiana
.

Directions
Starting in Mooresville, head West out of town on High Street (2 blocks South of Main), which becomes State Road 42. Take the first right onto Keller Hill Road, and go approximately 1 mile over a few small hills. Stop when you come to the big hill, you are there. There is a silo right before you get to Gravity Hill.

Instructions
WARNING. You are on a public road! Obey all traffic signs and rules. Where there are hills there are blind spots. Always bring someone to watch for other traffic. Never try the hill when the road is wet and slippery or during inclement winter weather conditions.
Stop your car at the bottom of the big hill, lining up the front with the large old tree on the right, and put it in neutral. Your car WILL NOT roll up the hill! However, you may feel the sensation of the car backing up the small hill behind you.
Michael W. M tried out the hill and this is what he told us. "I was able to stop my van on the little straight stretch with the little hill behind me and the big one in front. I put the van into neutral. Kid you not, the van started to roll backwards (On a STRAIGHT stretch of road) towards the little hill!! I think it is caused by the way the road is constructed."
---------------------------------------------
After trying this natural phenomenon you may question it's causes. Well, we don't want to disappoint you, but whether it is called a Magnetic Hill, Gravity Hill, Mystery Hill or Electric Brae it is an optical illusion. It has nothing to do with magnetic fields, electricity or unknown forces working along mysterious lines.

The picture is from a reverse point of view. In other words at the top of the big hill looking down
to the flat spot in between the big hill and the little one.
Area History
In 1824, Samuel Moore, a North Carolina Quaker, chose Mooresville's location in the delta of the east and west forks of White Lick Creek to take advantage of fertile bottom ground and water to power mills. The first school society organized in Mooresville was in Samuel Moore's store in 1828. Also in 1828, Samuel Moore married Eliza Worthington of Madison, Indiana. Eliza was a Methodist and both the Quaker and Methodist denominations were prominent in the early development of the community.
Mooresville adopted "Home of the State Flag" as its slogan in 1966, in honor of Paul Hadley, the Indiana state flag's designer. Mr. Hadley was a well-known watercolor artist and lived in Mooresville for many years.
Mooresville's population grew from 200 in 1831 to 2,000 in 1900 to about 10,000 today.
