Midwest Living selected Brown County’s gorgeous vistas and artistic history:
“The many ways nature inspires art become obvious during a visit to Brown County, an hour south of Indianapolis. Explore the hiking trails and sweeping vistas of Indiana’s largest state park, then see how that scenery translates to artists’ work in galleries and studios.”
The unique fusion of trendy small towns and Amish culture in the Elkhart region earned a spot on the Midwest Living list.
“Travel backroads to discover family-owned shops, colorful Quilt Gardens and horse-drawn buggies traveling rural landscapes. But this region is more than Amish. Trendy restaurants and shops ensure good times are au courant.”
Annually rated among the nation’s best historic hotels, French Lick Resort is home to two amazing hotel properties and much more. Midwest Living put them on the Bucket List.
“A 100-foot-tall domed atrium crowns this restored 1902 hotel in West Baden. The air of elegance continues in the spa and fine-dining restaurants. It’s part of the French Lick Resort, with golf courses, horseback riding tours, and hiking and biking trails.”
