The One-Of-A-Kind Town Of Bean Blossom In Indiana Is Absolutely Heaven On Earth
Indiana is home to all sorts of cute little towns. Some small towns in Indiana are so sleepy and otherwise low-key that they fly under the radar, and others are quite notable for who-knows-what (but there’s a bunch of ’em). The gorgeous little town we’re going to look at right now is a mixture of both: it’s non-fussy without being barren, and it’s got a surprisingly interesting claim to fame, too. Plus, better still, it’s located in the most beautiful part of Indiana: the coveted Brown County.

Originally called Georgetown, Bean Blossom was founded in 1833. In 1842, a post office was established, but by 1911, it was already gone.

Instead, it continued to thrive as one of the cutest small towns in Indiana, and besides, it's famous among a certain group of folks who really love old-school bluegrass music.

For more than six decades, Bill Monroe Memorial Music Park and Campground has been hosting bluegrass and country musicians on its stage. Over the years, it's attracted thousands of fans and loyal attendees, and in 1967 it got even better: the Memorial Music Park hosted the first-ever Bill Monroe Memorial Festival, which is the longest-running bluegrass music festival in the world.

Of course, even folks who aren't enormous fans of bluegrass will find plenty to love in Bean Blossom. The Bean Blossom covered bridge, for example, is one of the most beautiful historic covered bridges in Indiana, and it's gorgeous year-round (but it does take on a special magic in the fall when the leaves are gold and orange).

It's the perfect place to explore the amazing natural beauty of the Hoosier State, with miles and miles of trails, excellent camping opportunities, events, activities, and so much more. We suggest you spend an entire day at Brown County State Park to really take it in; make it a weekend trip and enjoy some of Bean Blossom's best beds and breakfasts (and shops!) while you're at it.

It's a perfectly wonderful little piece of heaven right here in the Midwest, and it's all ours!
