Throughout Northern Indiana, life seems to move at a slightly slower pace. Small, quaint shops sell one-of-a-kind delights, meals are made from scratch, and area attractions often take visitors back in time. From historical centers and museums to candy stores and shops specializing in homemade quilts, Indiana is a great destination to slow things down a bit, take in the scenery, and have some fun.

Comfortably nestled along the banks of the St. Joseph River, South Bend/Mishawaka is a community rich in history and alive with pride. Yes, there’s more than skiing, kayaking and golf, the top-flight entertainment or even the intriguing delights of the South Bend Chocolate Museum.
