  • Exploring Forgotten Towns and Back Roads Of Rural Indiana
    Driving around old highways and small country towns in Rural Indiana looking for cool and forgotten things!!! We see old farm towns, old banks, an old covered bridge and an old cemetery or two. Video format inspired by Adam The Woo.

    My favorite part of exploring small towns and backroads in Indiana is that some of them have a Pizza King!

    I grew up in Clinton, Indiana and there were alot of covered bridges scattered throughout Parke County which was near Vermillion Co. We would get us a cooler full of beer and go on a country cruise. I'm surprised you could still drive across that one. Most of them have been condemned. Grest memories.

    I'm glad you made this video. I'm planning to do something similar; I want to travel to all 50 states solo as an adult, probably spending a week in each depending the size, focusing mostly on the unknown if not forgotten or overlooked places. I'm debating if Indiana will be the very first state on this journey. Exploring small town America and its backroads just sounds like an unusual adventure to me.
    Edit: Also, I appreciate you keeping relatively neutral about this small town. Many can be negative. It's very natural to disparage small town America, so focusing on the history, its buildings and poignant spots (i.e. local cemetery) and pondering about them is refreshing.

    Oh the gravel roads you definitely know you are in rural Indiana and Illinois...I grew up just over the border in Illinois and now live in the Indy area..I am very familiar with small towns ..the cemetery was probably on that hill so it would not get flooded out...especially in spring when there is more rain...I have seen this before putting the cemetery on the highest point they can...

    I grew up in that area [well, a little further east]. As soon as you mentioned Battle Ground, I knew what highway you were on.
    Pine Village? DO NOT go west on 26; it is lovingly known as the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" -- 7 miles of up, down, left, right, etc.

    The covered bridge looked like the Lancaster Bridge in Carroll County spanning the Wildcat Creek.

    • @SavageTraveling

      I need to check that out sometime. I used to kayak the WIldcat Creek in Kokomo... Need to head over there and do that again sometime.

      @@SavageTraveling I've canoed the Wildcat a bunch. I was raised in Carroll County and now live in Kokomo. Carroll County has 2 covered bridges spanning the Wildcat that are open to traffic. The total population of Carroll County is around 20,000, so it's all small communities. The largest town is Delphi and the population of it is less than 3000 according to the 2010 census.

    Check out Wolf Park at Battleground some time. They have a very nice place and a small Bison herd along with the many wolves.I was there way back in 1994 and the place has grown and improved much since. They are on the Internet with all Info. Peace and thanks for the cruise. I am in a farm and Amish area town of Bremen ,Indiana and grew up in LaPorte..LOve the small town life after living in crazy Mishawaka/S.Bend for 14 years. They can have it.

    That walled off area was a family plot. The Harman family must have been wealthy or something and bought their own plot of land and walled it off for their family members.

      I'd hit up Gary then maybe head east to Shipshewana if you're into the Amish. Southern Indiana is beautiful if you're into hills and forests. Everything in central Indiana is corn and old towns.
