Podcast Summary
The Get Indiana team spent four days in Dubois County in southern Indiana and came home with a series of highlights on where to stay, eat, shop and play while visiting the towns of Ferdinand, Huntingburg, Jasper and St. Henry.
We share the nicest and most convenient place to stay in Jasper, plus our experiences at the stunning Sultan’s Run Golf Course and Jasper’s iconic German restaurant, The Schnitzelbank.
Food, entertainment and exploration extend far beyond Dubois County’s seat of Jasper, too. There are notable dining spots like Cascade Cafe, Main Street Bistro and St. Benedict’s Brew Works in Ferdinand, Bungalow Bar in St. Henry, and The Huntingburg Grind, Gaslight Pizza, and Butcher and Barrel in Huntingburg.
Plus, attractions like the Monastery Immaculate Conception, Antique and Emporium Vendor Mall, and Tin Lizzie’s in Ferdinand, the Ferdinand State Forest just outside of town, and League Stadium and Memorial Gym in Huntingburg, give visitors plenty of options to fill the day.
There are a few festivals worth checking out, too. Everyone has the Jasper Strassenfest on their calendars, and the Ferdinand Folk Festival and Huntingburg 4th Fridays during the summer months are full of food, kids activities and live entertainment. The festival that is a hidden gem on the rise? The Red, White, and Brauen Music Festival at League Stadium.
Whether you like good eats, shopping, festivals or just want life to slow down a bit, we give insights into why a weekend visit to Dubois County should be on your Indiana bucket list.
