About The Millbrook Ledger
Independent, locally owned, and covering Millbrook and Castellan County, Indiana since 1894.
The Millbrook Ledger has published continuously since 1894, when it began as a weekly broadsheet covering Castellan County farm prices and courthouse proceedings. Today the Ledger publishes daily online and in a Wednesday and Sunday print edition, with a newsroom of eleven covering city government, schools, courts, sports and local life across Millbrook and the surrounding townships.
The Ledger is locally owned by the Hargrove-Whitlow family, who purchased the paper from its founding family in 1958 and have operated it independently since, without ties to a national newspaper chain. We believe that ownership structure matters to readers, so we disclose it plainly here rather than leaving it to a corporate filing.

Editorial Standards
The Ledger separates news and opinion coverage: our news reporters do not write editorials or opinion columns under their own bylines, and our opinion page, including guest columns from community members, is edited separately from the newsroom. When we get a fact wrong, we publish a correction attached to the original story rather than quietly editing it, and we keep a public corrections log available by request through our newsroom email.
How to Reach Us
News tips can be sent to newsroom@millbrook.egazer.com. Corrections or concerns about accuracy can be sent to corrections@millbrook.egazer.com, and we aim to respond to every correction request within two business days. The Ledger's offices are located at 119 Court Street in downtown Millbrook, a block from the courthouse square we have covered for 132 years.
Subscriptions
The Ledger is supported by subscriptions and local advertising. Most stories are free to read; in-depth city government and investigative reporting is reserved for subscribers after a limited number of free articles each month, which funds the reporting required to cover meetings, file records requests, and show up at the courthouse in person rather than relying on press releases.
