East Central Indiana Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Levi Coffin House was an important stop on the Underground Railroad. Visiting the house and the center next door helps you understand how the Coffins lead many people to freedom. It's worth a visit.

One picture can't possibly do justice to this fun museum. It has   such a variety of exhibits! I love the antique cars in the basement.
This is a really pretty rose garden on the east side of  Richmond, beside the golf course and Glen Miller Park.
Just a short distance south of the new wind turbine farm I came across a round barn. There used to be a lot of those around here but they have slowly disappeared from the landscape. I only know of two others close. Sadly a large part of rural Indiana's history vanishing.

There was someone else’s dried toothpaste on the bathroom counter, the floor was dirty. The lady (unfortunately working by herself) in the lobby Starbucks was overwhelmed - ended up grabbing a coffee from the front instead.
