I grew up living near the first state capital of Indiana. We use to go on field trips here when I was in school.
Corydon Capitol State Historic Site
Lincoln Boyhood National Park is a cool place to visit. It's right next to Santa Claus, Indiana with a campground and Amusement park. Just off the expressway. I have had so much fun here.

Marengo Cave is another favorite place to visit. Especially when it's hot outside. Great place to cool down with the family.

Squire Boone Cavern is very historical and I used to live right next door! Also when I was little, I was there with my parents and they took our picture for their new brochure back in the 70's. I was famous. Lol!

Nice quiet place to spend the weekend with your better half. You can gamble, stay in an awesome history hotel. Quite little town, they even have a train you can ride. Lots of shopping and things to do. Small town charm.

Indi 500 is a favorite for many of my friends they take their camper and stay the whole week.

Holiday World has been my favorite place to go as a child and even as an adult. This is the most clean amusement part I've ever been too. Not overly crowded during the week. Stay next door at the campground and watch the fun from your front yard.
