Indiana Region Guide
Evansville sits at the bend in the Ohio River, German heritage runs deep around Jasper and Ferdinand, and Santa Claus, Indiana is exactly as odd and wonderful as it sounds.
Southwest Indiana hugs the Ohio River and the Wabash River, with Evansville as the natural base. From there it is an easy reach to Vincennes and its frontier history, the hilltop abbey near Ferdinand, and New Harmony's quiet streets. Holiday World gives families a full day on its own.
The region covers Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, Knox, Daviess, Dubois and Pike counties. Evansville anchors it with the riverfront and a tri-state food scene, while Holiday World at Santa Claus and French Lick's resort corner carry the family and weekend trips. Dubois County is worth its own day for Herrmann Brewthers Bierwerks in Jasper and the Monastery Immaculate Conception near Ferdinand. Bill Bobe's Pizzeria has been hand-tossing in Vincennes for decades, and Harmonie State Park and New Harmony's gardens and labyrinth close the loop.
