With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.
Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

We decided to stop in after a visit to Blue Springs Caverns, and glad we did! Picked up some amazing produce...cucumbers, peppers, green beans, corn on the cob, and cantaloupe (just like grandpa used to grow...so sweet!) Loved that they offer popcorn and cider as you enter. Nice touch. We also bought caramel apples, sesame sticks, a variety of homemade breads (cinnamon bread great for toasting), and the cinnamon rolls were so soft and delicious warmed up! Took home some pumpkin butter, strawberry-rhubarb preserves, and blackberry butter...all very good, can’t pick a favorite. One unexpected find was their pickle barrel! We bought one to share/sample, and ended up buying 6 more. Wish they were closer so we could get more!! Will definitely stop back in when in area.

Wellfield Botanic Gardens is open year-round. Activities include special events and festivals, workshops and educational opportunities, a summer concert series, winter wonderland holiday lights, and seasonal programming and exhibits. Facilities may be rented for private events including weddings, anniversaries, and celebrations of life. The Mission of Wellfield Botanic Gardens is to celebrate the inseparable relationship between water and life, inspire creativity and lifelong learning, foster stewardship of our natural world, and grow community. 36 acres in size, half of which are water, Wellfield resides on a historical piece of property originally known as the “North Main Street Well Field.” The property has been a source of hydraulic energy and drinking water for the City of Elkhart since the mid-1800s. Wellfield holds a lease agreement with the City of Elkhart and is a private, 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
Wellfield Gardens is so enchanting and a great place to walk and enjoy the beauty of the gardens. When the flowers are in bloom in the late Spring and Summer it makes the gardens more beautiful. During the holiday season, they host the Holiday of Lights which is spectacular!! It draws a huge crowd for the month that it runs for and the entry fee goes towards gardens. We are lucky to have such a beautiful place to enjoy all year round
