Good morning,
We took a mini road trip from Southern Ohio to Southern Indiana on an absolutely gorgeous May day.
We live very close to the border of Ohio and Indiana so it doesn't take long to reach our neighboring state.
We traveled US Route 52 across Southern Indiana and past some beautiful farms and farm land.
Our destination today is Metamora, Indiana.
And, here we are. Metamora is an old canal town that has been turned into a very pleasant tourist attraction.
This group of school children had just returned from a ride on the Benjamin Franklin, a canal boat on the Whitewater Canal. The rail road track parallels the canal and train rides are sometimes available, but not today.
We were here to take pictures today.
The homes and businesses of this old town have been turned into gift shops and restaurants.
For more information about the tourist attractions,
click here for Metamora's web site.
I'll have more images of Metamora to come.
Enjoy,
Lois

ReplyDeleteWe lived in north central Indian for 26 years, but never once did we visit Metamora.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty little town. The photo of the white building with the red metal roof is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time here. Wonderful set-up with gorgeous header!
ReplyDeleteI lived in Cincinnati for 7 years and always planned to make the drive on Rt. 52 into Indiana but never did.
Metamora looks charming and that is a lovely farm you featured. Sounds like a glorious way to spend a day!:>)
Looks like a nice, big working farm, love all that white!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful mini-trip!
