Driving around Celina, sooner or later you drive by Grand Lake. It is a large and beautiful lake,…read moreand next to it are two large landmarks easy to see by anyone driving: 1) The Celina Lighthouse 2) The Welcome to Grand Lake Sign The sign was created and donated by Celina Insurance in 2013 to the city. I think its always a wonderful thing when a business gives back to its community. It is supposed to last forever, and the company guarantees its warranty at least per the newspaper article i read about it. https://dailystandard.com/archive/2013-09-17/stories/22040/celina-insurance-group-celebrating-its-100th-anniversary-with-donation-to-city

A very nice Memorial Bridge to Dr. King Jr. located downtown Fort Wayne that crosses over the St…read more Mary's River. There is Headwaters Park and a nice path for biking, walking, running, etc. along the river that brings you by the bridge. On a nice day, you can relax on the nearby benches. Although it is a small bridge, the bridge is a magnificent in the day as it is at night when it is full of colorful lights. It is accessible at Clinton and Fourth Streets and there is an empty lot across from the bridge...it doesn't say whether or not you can it can't park there.

I just walked over the bridge today for the out of darkness walk. I love that Bridge spiritually…read moreit is such peace. The peace is amazing, I read each message and it is the most beautiful Landmark in Fort Wayne. Outstanding

This museum is massive on two levels with so many years of history with tons of cars and trucks…read more They have plenty of popular cars and trucks from many eras and even some odd balls. They have everything from a drag car, movie cars, everyday cars, military, classic cars, commercial vehicles, Wonder bread truck and the iconic checker cab from the 70s. Overall it's a nice collection of vehicles and a cool walk through.

The best part was Larry what a tour guide!! I could go on forever if you are in the area go say hi, his knowledge and kindness is worth the trip.

I think the idea of this place is cool, but it really needs some money put into it. I'm glad we…read morewent on a Free day because I would have been upset to pay an entrance fee for what is there. There is a super small inside gallery area. A bunch of exhibits were covered so you couldn't see them. The outside is a small village with two structures. It was cool to go in and see you those looked like. There are plaques with what is around the circle area and you can either scan the QR code to get that information or borrow one of their books to learn about it. I think that's pretty cool. I think there is massive room for improvement and making things just look nicer. I think those in charge could learn a lot from how the Great Council State Park was done. Lots of room for more hands and interactive things to keep the kids interesting in learning about our past. This could also spell more revenue from schools for Field Trips.

Very nice workers inside. Make us feel comfortable! We get new books every time! Wide selection!read more

I tend to love the more obscure roadside attractions in my home state of Indiana. One such…read moreattraction is Berne, Indiana's Muensterberg Plaza and Clock Tower. I am especially fond of the clock tower, a 160-foot tall multi-million dollar replica of the clock tower in Bern, Switzerland that was dedicated in 2010. I used to drive through Berne semi-regularly due to my church obligations that would frequently have me in this part of the state. Located on, you guessed it, North Church Avenue in Berne, this clock tower is beautiful to look at and consistent with the Swiss theme that dominates Berne, Indiana. Admission is free to this roadside attraction. Berne, Indiana is located in Adams County about 35 miles south of Fort Wayne. Population is about 4,000 and they have a substantial Amish population that speaks a Swiss German dialect known as Bernese German. The town comes by its Swiss connection naturally - it was settled in 1852 by Mennonites that came here directly from Switzerland. That relationship with Switzerland has been maintained. The entire city of Berne takes a little bit over 2 square miles! The plaza also includes "The Settler's Statue," a statue commemorating the area's first settlers, along with the only stateside Canton Tree and a flower bed designed in quilting patterns. The clock is actually quite popular even for local residents who are quite proud of it. You pretty much can't visit Berne without seeing the clock - partly because it's such a main feature and partly because it's big enough that it stands out in the city. Do you remember the Dilley sextuplets? They were the world's first surviving sextuplets. They were from Berne, IN. This is honestly a great day trip - in addition to checking out this tourist attraction you have multiple close by places to visit including Oubache State Park, Gene Stratton Porter Museum, Pine Lake Waterpark, and Swiss Heritage Village & Museum among others. If you get a chance, I definitely recommend stopping in Berne, IN and checking out their beautiful clock tower.

The plaza is a nice park, with plenty of space to enjoy the out of doors. I posted pictures taken during my visit in January and to see the monument surrounded by white snow was awesome. I'll have to make a return visit during warmer months when the grass is visible. On the corner of Main Street and US-27.

I was glad to find this historic gem on a recent visit to Enon. The Enon Adena Mound is the second…read morelargest in Ohio and is owned by the City of Enon. This mound is approximately 40 feet high, encompasses over one acre and is 574 feet in circumference. It majestically sits in the middle of a neighborhood of middle-class houses. The road completely encircles the mound so you can drive to look at it from all sides. If you're into the history of the Native Americans that lived here before we did, it's worth a stop. 5 Stars

This 150 year old, red covered bridge was moved to Highland Park in 1957 by the Historical Society…read more The bridge was originally located in Vermont, Indiana and is the last bridge with Smith type #3 trusses in the State. (Robert Smith was a famous covered bridge designer from Ohio. His unique designs used less wood.) The bridge, which was built in 1875, has a sorted and interesting story of survival that is described on the City of Kokomo's website. I walked across the one-lane bridge on a hot day this week. (The bridge is only open to pedestrian traffic.) The bridge is cool inside, shaded by large sycamore trees. Modern party lights hang inside the bridge to provide light. The bridge spans a creek that runs through the park. The bridge provided a beautiful backdrop for photos. There is close free parking near the bridge. Vermont Covered Bridge is a must visit for covered bridge buffs.
