NEW HAVEN (WOWO) — A staple of Northeast Indiana community culture is celebrating a landmark milestone as Bell’s Skating Rink in New Haven kicks off its centennial anniversary. Recognized as Indiana’s oldest operating roller rink, the family-owned destination first opened its doors in 1926. Ov er the past century, the venue on State Road 930 has welcomed four generations of local families, remaining a hub for youth activities, weekend open skates, and birthday parties. To mark 100 years of operation, New Haven Mayor Steve McMichael issued an official city proclamation designating “Bell’s Roller Skating Rink Day”.
