in North America. In the early 1990s, Seymour was the setting for Falling from Grace, starring Mellencamp and released in 1992. The film was loosely biographical and included many local landmarks like Larrison's diner during filming. On Christmas Day 1998, the historic Walton Hotel first known at the Rader House, and then the Faulkner House, then known as the Centennial Hotel, burned to the ground in an accidental fire that killed one person. The property first built in 1854 and one of the oldest structures in Seymour was in the process of being restored and was being used as low-income housing at the time of the fire. 21st Century Thanks to the efforts of then Lt. Governor John Mutz and community leaders at the Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation, Aisin constructed a factory in the United States in 1986, with production beginning in 1989. Initial estimates suggested 200 new employees but by 2020, Aisin employed more than 2,000 local residents. This Aisin factory in Seymour, Indiana has been expanded and supplies components for Honda, General Motors, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Toyota. The 106-mile (171 km) north-south railroad line that serves Seymour was purchased by the Louisville and Indiana Railroad from Conrail in March 1994. The Seymour Diamond Crossing is a good place to also watch the east-west railroad line, which CSX upgraded in 2016 for reliable higher speed operation. LIRC acts as a short-line railroad to provide switching services for access to the CSX mainline. Immigration from San Sebastián Coatán, Guatemala began about 1989 as indigenous Chuj people found the American Dream in the United States. As word spread to their families and friends in their hometown of San Sebastián Coatán about the quality of life in Seymour, more families journeyed from their poverty stricken part of Guatemala to a newer, more fruitful life in the U.S. Immigrants from Guatemala now make up more than 10% of the population. In November 2019, the city unveiled a large mural of John Mellencamp, painted on the side of a local guitar store. The store's owner, Larry McDonald, is a longtime-friend and former bandmate of Mellencamp. The Mellencamp family donated $50,000.00 to help turn the former parking lot into a green space so more people could enjoy the mural painted by artist Sue Bliss. The city's parks department began efforts to restore the long-neglected Civil War Memorial in Shields Park. Geography Seymour is located
