Indiana is a farming and manufacturing state that also promotes tourism. There are many family friendly places to visit, sites for vehicle and railroad enthusiasts, wine tours, culinary tours, art exhibits, outdoor sports, and so much more.
The population of Indiana includes many Amish who live a simple life, farming and remaining as self sufficient as possible. You can see their horse drawn carriages when they travel to town to buy supplies or sell their surplus produce. Farmers markets are common since Indiana has a large area of farmland. The quilt gardens and murals are among the interesting sights during the summer along the Heritage Trail driving tour through the Amish countryside.

The Covered Bridge Capitol of the World is in Parke County in western Indiana. There are 30 covered bridges in a driving tour. Fall is the best time to enjoy the bridges, the fall foliage and the annual Covered Bridge Festival.

As always, I suggest you check out the state website for tourists which is: http://www.visitindiana.com
They have a very interesting website with trip ideas, an events calendar and guides to dining, entertainment and lodging.
