Indiana Travel Guide
Indiana is an outdoor lover's paradise, with an abundance of opportunities to enjoy fishing, boating, cross-country skiing, hiking, canoeing, biking and hunting. Many of the best spots are to be found in the state's 45 parks, forests, historic sites and recreation areas, where visitors can not only enjoy their favorite activities.
Indiana is known as both the Hoosier State and the Crossroads of America. There are many legends as to why residents of this state are called Hoosiers. Visit southern Indiana, for instance, and you could be forgiven for thinking that the state is all gentle, rolling hills, scenic drives and picturesque small towns.
Throughout the area of North Indiana there are plenty of well-kept secrets for visitors to enjoy. In Fort Wayne history lovers will want to visit The Lincoln Museum, which is dedicated to Abraham Lincoln's life and contribution to society. Also in this part of the state are the Northern Indiana Center for History in South Bend and the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame—Home of the fighting Irish. See the lights, big-city shopping and museums of Indianapolis and Indiana is suddenly an urban playground. Head north and the scenery changes again, from the beaches of Lake Michigan's south shore to the fascinating world of the Amish community.
The Indianapolis Children's Museum (the largest of its kind in the world) offers children of all ages interactive entertainment and learning, with more than 100,000 artefacts in ten major galleries that explore the physical and natural sciences, foreign cultures, history and the arts. Lincoln City, as the name suggests, has a plethora of memorabilia of arguably America's greatest president, with a visitors' centre, museum and amphitheatre that stages re-enactments of Lincoln's boyhood.
