Things to see Places to stay South to North Indiana

Planning trip thru Indiana from border to border going south to north, Louisville to Goshen area in September. What to see and where to stay. Thanks
  • RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart is pretty interesting. They let you dry camp in their parking lot.
  • Indianapolis: Children's Museum of Indianapolis, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum
    South Bend: The History Museum/Oliver Mansion/Studebaker Museum (a three for one museum)
    Auburn Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum, National Automotive and Truck Museum (NATMUS), Early Ford V-8 Foundation & Museum
  • In Louisville The Louisville slugger bat factory. A little south in Bowling Green the Corvette factory
  • Like contemporary architecture Columbus Indiana a city of 50,000 orso is famous for great world class architecture. You would be a short distance from Brown County State Park for camping and also Nashville Indiana. A small town but areal tourist stop.
  • I would plan a stop in Shipshewana lots of touristy things and plenty of Amish cooking, we like the park at the huge flea market. From this area is a good base for Elkhart, Goshen and even South Bend and Southern Mi and also most of the rv manufactures
  • The Menno-Hof visitor center in Shipshewana is a very interesting look into Mennonite history and culture. I'm not religious myself, but I enjoyed the well-done presentation of Mennonite and Amish history and culture.

    We really enjoyed the mansion and museums mentioned in South Bend.
    It was a very fun and interesting day.
