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.

Room was clean, beds were clean, bathroom was clean. The only issue was the heat. The furnace would only stay lit for about 5 seconds (you could clearly hear and see the ignition and flames) and the room never got warmer than 62 degrees, no matter what the thermostat setting. It just felt cold.
