Here Are 10 MORE Beautiful, Charming Small Towns In Indiana
A few days ago I shared a piece that focused on ten very small and very charming towns in Indiana. In this piece, I tried to focus more on some of the smaller towns in Indiana. This ended up being towns with less than 300 people living in them. Now, there are some beautiful and charming towns in Indiana that are significantly larger in population size than the ones I featured in that article, while still being significantly smaller than cities in the state like Indianapolis with more than 850,000 people living in it. Furthermore, I got tons of comments from you guys asking for different towns to be featured in a piece. I decided to do some more research and compose a second list!
