10 Official Indiana Travel Guide / 2016

CERULEAN 1101 E. Canal St., Winona Lake, 574.269.1226, ceruleanrestaurant.com (N)

Sleek, chic Cerulean sits pretty in a cedar bungalow along a Winona Lake canal framed by artsy galleries and boutiques.

VIBE: The midcentury- modern interior makes a stylish backdrop for innovative plates of Asian-meets-modern-Midwestern cuisine.

WHAT TO ORDER: Tradi-tional bento box–style lunches filled with a sea-sonally changing selection of entrees, sides, soups and salads. At dinner, customers can consider forward-thinking farm- to-table fare and a full crudo bar.

NOTED: All the hardwood used for the tables and bartops is indigenous to Indiana. And like the food, the art you see on the walls is all locally sourced.

OYSTER BAR 1830 S. Calhoun St., Fort Wayne; 260.744.9490; fwoysterbar.com (E)

Just a tad south of down-town Fort Wayne, this circa-1888 landmark was a saloon for decades before transitioning into the Oyster Bar in the 1950s.

VIBE: The comfortably broken-in atmosphere honors the building’s sto-ried past with a handsome wood bar, intimate table seating and fishing memo-rabilia on the walls.

WHAT TO ORDER: Classi- cally prepared fresh market seafood, steaks, BBQ shrimp, calamari and, of course, oysters any way you want ’em.

NOTED: The building’s list of former owners includes Hughie Johnston and Neal Barille, members of the world-champion Zollner Pistons softball team.

1875: THE STEAKHOUSE8670 W. S.R. 56, French Lick; 812.936.8001, frenchlick.com (S)

This classy open-kitchen eatery stays perfectly in step with its sumptu-ous surroundings on the historic French Lick Resort property.

VIBE: White-tablecloth fine dining befitting anniversa-ries, birthdays and other grand celebrations. Wear something nice.

WHAT TO ORDER: The dreamy, creamy baked lobster mac ‘n cheese appetizer, followed by the house specialty: dry-aged, bone-in rib eye. If you’re on an expense account, go for the 16-ounce Wagyu strip sirloin.

NOTED: “1875” references the year of the inaugural Kentucky Derby. A picture of Aristides, the winning horse, hangs in a place of honor at the restaurant’s entrance.

FIVE QUINTESSENTIALLY INDIANA RESTAURANTS THAT DESERVE A ROAD TRIP. by Amy Lynch

If there’s such a thing as a guaranteed good meal, these Indiana restaurants serve it. Their chefs have all been semi-finalists for the prestigious James Beard Award, known as the Oscars of the food industry, over the last 25 years:

Clockwise from top: Daniel Orr of FARMbloomington, Bloomington • Micah Frank of Black Market, Indianapolis • David Tallent of Restaurant Tallent, Bloomington • Regina Mehallick of R Bistro, Indianapolis • Aaron Butts of Joseph Decuis, Roanoke • Greg Hardesty of Recess and Room Four, Indianapolis

LOCAL TOQUES WORTH

THE TRIP

CRYSTAL & JULES 709 W. Main St., Madison; 812.274.1077; crystalandjules.com (SC)

This charming dinner-only establishment in downtown Madison serves up gourmet dishes in refined yet relaxed digs.

VIBE: The stylish interior boasts a monochromatic color palette in shades of gray punctuated with red columns and iron wall decor.

WHAT TO ORDER: The spicy-sweet marinated Costa Rican New York strip, crab cakes and the house-made pasta in whatever form it’s offered. Save room for creme brulee.

NOTED: The restaurant’s name is a thoughtful tribute to the two most important women in chef-owner Andy Richmer’s life: his wife, Crystal, and his late mother, Julie.

ST. ELMO STEAK HOUSE 127 S. Illinois St., Indianapolis, 317.635.0636, stelmos.com (C)

Everyone who’s anyone—athletes, actors, rock stars, politicians, IndyCar drivers, business moguls—scribbles a visit to century-old St. Elmo in on the itinerary when in Indy, with good reason.

VIBE: Old-school elegance with stiff cocktails, a stellar wine cellar, expertly cooked steaks and a tuxedoed waitstaff. If these celebrity photo-lined walls could talk …

WHAT TO ORDER: Steel yourself for the first bite of shrimp cocktail so spicy, it’s nearly combustible. No one’s looking if you need to use a napkin to wipe your watering eyes.

NOTED: The James Beard Foundation honored St. Elmo with an America’s Classic Award in 2012.

3 CAN’T- MISS AMISH

COUNTRY CLASSICS

1 A HIP MUSIC JOINTThe latest indie bands play Ignition Music Garage (120 E.

Washington St., Goshen, 574.971.8282, ignitionmusic.net), where you can also pick up vinyl at this garage-turned-music-store. The venue sells lots of Americana and new indie-rock, but doesn’t shy away from more special-ized releases, like bluegrass, garage and psychedelic albums.

2 RIDING A CHICKEN Climb aboard a chicken, horse, cow or dog—all carved

to represent animals you might see around town—on the 110-year-old Dentzel Carousel (Davis Mercan-tile, 255 E. Main St., Shipshewana, 260.768.7300, davismercantile.com). It’s one of several masterpieces crafted by the famed Dentzel broth-ers from Germany, and the attention

to detail still shows more than a century later.

3 AWESOME CINNAMON ROLLSWhen you walk into Rise ’n

Roll Bakery & Deli (several northern-Indiana locations, risenroll.com), your head may be turned by the chocolate whoopie pies, raspberry-cream–filled donuts or glossy fruit tarts. This is understandable. But do not let your-self be distracted from the true prize: the pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth rolls laced with cinnamon and sugar. Eat one now, thank us later.

4 BACON BEERReally. And it’s good! Try a pint at Goshen Brewing

Co. (315 W. Washington St., Goshen, 574.971.5324, goshenbrewing.com), a family-friendly brewpub just two

blocks off Main Street, which taps other beers redolent of bittersweet chocolate, honeydew and pears.

5 SCENIC BIKINGGet out your two-wheeler and hit the Pumpkinvine Nature

Trail (pumpkinvine.org), which, with help from the Maple City Greenway and the MapleHeart Trail, connects Elkhart, Goshen, Middlebury and Shipshewana. You’ll pass through urban areas, small towns and, of course, tranquil Amish countryside.

6 PERFECT PIZZAThe brick-lined walls of Venturi (123 E. Lincoln Ave.,

Goshen, 574.485.2985, eatventuri .com) make for a cozy atmosphere for tasting Neapolitan-style pies that get topped with mascarpone, prosciutto, figs and other gourmet ingredients.

VenturiIgnition Music GaragePumpkinvine Nature Trail

The Amish-country pizzeria has some real foodie cred—it’s been voted to the list of “Top 15 Most Life-Changing Pizza in the Nation” by Esquire readers.

7 AMISH FURNITURE THAT DOESN’T LOOK AMISH

Amish-made furnishings are known for their superior craftsmanship, and the pieces at Shipshewana Furniture Co. (130 E. Middlebury St., Shipshewana, 888.447.4725, shipshewanafurniture.com) at Riegsecker Marketplace run the gamut from Shaker to traditional to contemporary. If you love classic farmhouse-style pieces, you’ll find plenty to choose from. But there are also more modern, clean-lined coffee tables, sideboards and such that you

might not expect.

Think Indiana farmland is all about old-fashioned furniture, quilts and fried-chicken dinners? There’s plenty of that, sure. But here are seven startling finds that also fill Amish country.

3 Das Dutchman Essenhaus (240 U.S. 20, Middlebury, 574.825.9471, essenhaus.com). This traditional Amish-style restaurant serves up home-style fare in the heart of the country. Take a taste home with you—pick up a jar of apricot butter or pure maple syrup on your way out.

2 Amish Acres Historic

Farm & Heritage Resort (1600 W. Market St., Nappanee, 800.800.4942, amishacres.com). See a Broadway show in the Round Barn Theatre, tuck into a legendary Threshers Dinner beneath the hand-hewn timbers of a century-old barn and shop for quilts and crafts.

INsider ADVENTURES

… HIKETurkey Run State Park (8121 Park Rd., Marshall; 765.597.2635, in.gov/dnr/parklake/2964.htm). Test your calf muscles with a jaunt on the picturesque trails that wind through the sandstone cliffs and gorg-es of Rocky Hollow/Falls Canyon Nature Preserve north of Sugar Creek. Along the way, you’ll glimpse the Punch Bowl, Wedge Rock, the Ice Box and other geologic for-mations worth taking a selfie with. (W)

… MOUNTAIN BIKEBrown County State Park (1810 S.R. 46 East, Nashville; 812.988.6406, in.gov/dnr/parklake/2988.htm). Bike magazine ranks Indiana’s largest state park among the top 33 mountain-bike trails in North America, and the collection of easy to rugged paths here has earned the park “epic” status from the International Mountain Bike Associa-tion. Panoramic vistas and unsurpassed fall foliage are part of the package. (SC)

… RIDE HORSEBACKDeam Lake State Recreation Area (1217 Deam Lake Rd., Borden; 812.246.5421, in.gov/dnr/forestry/4825.htm). Saddle up and get along—this southern Indiana state recreation area (SRA) near Sellersburg and New Albany keeps riders and horses happy with a designated campground that

… CANOEChain O’Lakes State Park (2355 E. 75 S., Albion; 260.636.2654; in.gov/dnr/parklake/2987.htm). Canoe enthusiasts can paddle to their hearts’ content along this scenic string of 13 glacier-formed kettle lakes northwest of Fort Wayne, nine of which link by waterway for miles of adventure along picture-perfect natural shoreline. Canoe, paddleboat, kayak and rowboat rentals are available on-site. (E)

… SUN YOURSELFIndiana Dunes National Lakeshore(1215 N. S.R. 49, Porter; 219.926.2255, indianadunes.com). A beach vacation in Indiana? Yep.

Bring your own kayak, paddleboard or body board for serious fun in the sun. (N)

… GO FOUR-WHEELINGInterlake State Recreation Area (S.R. 68, 3 miles east of S.R. 61, Lynnville,

in.gov/dnr/outdoor/4226.htm). About 30 miles northeast of Evansville, the varied topography makes for a thrilling ride at this family-friendly destination. Just be sure your off-highway vehicle is registered or street legal/licensed. (S)

… SNOWMOBILESalamonie Lake (9214 Lost Bridge Road West, Andrews, 260.468.2125, in.gov/dnr/parklake/2952.htm).

HAPPY 200TH, INDIANA!Whether you studied Hoosier history as a fourth grader or you arrived here long after elementary school, there are plenty of options for celebrating Indiana’s bicentennial. Here’s a sample of events, places and books to explore in 2016. BY REBECCA BERFANGER

RUN, HOOSIERS!Ú More than 1,800 local heroes, volunteers and special contributors to the community, followed closely by a Mobile Visitors Center, will traverse all 92 counties in the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay over five weeks, ending with a grand finale at the Indiana State Capitol on October 15. Torchbearers will walk, run and even ride watercraft, farm equipment, a racecar, horse and wagon, antique automobile and other modes of transporta-tion that symbolize Hoosier heritage. (Various locations around the state starting September 9; Indiana State Capitol, 200 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, October 15.)

UNDERGROUND RAILROADÚ When abolitionist Levi Coffin and his wife lived in the “Grand Central Sta-tion of the Underground Railroad” in what was then called Newport, they helped more than 2,000 slaves, including the inspiration for the character Eliza in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, on their

way to freedom in Canada. In October, the Levi Coffin State Historic Site (113 U.S. 27 North, Fountain City, 765.847.2432, indiana museum.org/explore/levi- coffin-house), will open a new visitor center next door. The new structure was designed to resemble the home of the Coffins’ neigh-bor, Jediah Price, as it did in the 1830s. The visitor center will include exhibit space, a library and a theater.

PRESIDENTIAL PLACESIn addition to President Lincoln, Indiana is home to William Henry Harrison, Indiana’s first appointed governor (1800–1812) and president for 31 days (March 4–April 4, 1841). His home, Grouseland (3 W. Scott St., Vincennes, 812.882.2096, grouselandfoundation .org), all 300 acres of it, includes the first brick house built in the Indiana territory. Harrison’s grandson, in addition to being a Civil War general and a prominent Indianapolis attorney, was elected the 23rd president of the United States (1889–1893). The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site (1230 N. Delaware St., Indianapolis, 317.631.1888, bhpsite.org) is home to various exhibits and events, including naturalization ceremonies and historical reenactments.

HAPPY 200TH, INDIANA!

LIVING HISTORYÚ The exhibit 1816: Indiana Joins the Nation is the lat-est entry in the “You Are There” series at the Indiana History Center (450 W. Ohio St., Indianapolis, 317.232.1882, indianahistory.org), where major historical moments come to life. First, you’ll step through an image of the cov-er of the 1816 Indiana State Constitution, projected onto a fine screen of mist. Then you’ll enter a room in Corydon, where debates are taking place among Hoosier delegates to the Constitu-tional Convention about how to shape the future of this young state. Actors will stage a series of vignettes, sometimes even pulling visi-tors into the conversation. An interactive touchscreen invites you to vote on issues such as education, personal liberty and the balance of power—themes that still resonate today.

The year 1816 marked the birth of Indiana as a state, but it’s also when future president Abraham Lincoln, then 7 years old, moved to southern Indiana from Kentucky with his fam-ily. At the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial (2916 E. South St., Lincoln City, 812.937.4541, nps.gov/libo), you can

see a living historical farm that recreates what life was like on the frontier in the 1820s, look at Honest Abe–related artifacts in the visitor center and appreciate nature on one of four hiking trails. Aficionados of our 16th president should also visit the Indiana State Museum (650 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, 317.232.1637), home to the Lincoln Financial Founda-tion Collection: a plethora of Lincoln ephemera, such as books, photos, personal possessions and signed copies of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment.

ALL ABOARD! The Indiana Bicentennial Train (indianahistory.org/train) made its first appearance at the 2015 Indiana State Fair, and returns there this year, August 5–21. Climb into the three air-conditioned boxcars, which have been turned into galleries to display The Next Indiana—a look at the state’s past, present and future through the lenses of four themes: transportation, land use, talent and community. Several hundred images from the Indiana Historical Society’s archives show his-torical and contemporary visuals. What will come next?

BRIGHT BEGINNINGÚ Thirteen years before Indiana became a state, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark began their expedition west to the Pacific Ocean and back. They started the journey in what is now Clarksville. The site is marked by the Lewis and Clark Statue, When They Shook Hands, at Falls of the Ohio State Park (201 West Riverside Dr., Clarksville, 812.280.9970, lewisandclark trail.com).

A CAPITOL IDEAÚ Before Indianapolis became the state’s current capital, Corydon was the seat of state government from 1813 to 1825. Today, visitors to the Corydon Capitol State Historic Site (126 E. Walnut St., Corydon, 812.738.4890, indianamuse um.org/explore/corydon) can see the preserved trunk of the Constitution Elm, where the first state constitution was drafted in June 1816; the Capitol Building, built from limestone from nearby quarries; and other spots of historical interest.

1 START HERE: HAMMOND Start your trip at the Indiana Welcome Center to get your bearings. And

if you’re lucky enough to visit during the holiday season, you’ll find cool stuff centered around the movie A Christmas Story, based on author Jean Shepherd’s recollections of growing up in this town. Six animatronic window displays depict iconic scenes from the film, and special events include the Oh Fuuudge! relay race.

2 PORTER (31 miles/35 min.) Feel sand between your toes when you cross into Indiana Dunes

country. The beach draws swimmers and sun worshippers all summer long, and when the air turns crisp, theaters, hiking trails, buzzy restaurants and other attractions call.

3 MICHIGAN CITY (13 miles/24 min.) Serious savings await at Lighthouse Place Premium Out-

lets, where you’ll find some 120 shops from major brands. Or try your luck at

Blue Chip Casino, Hotel & Spa, which offers 65,000 square feet of gaming.

4 LAPORTE (13 miles/22 min.) The exhibit on Belle Gunness, a serial killer of the early 1900s, is

a popular draw at the LaPorte County Historical Society Museum.

National Museum, then step back in time at the Center for History.

that mirrors the one Lucy & Desi made famous in their 1953 road-trip movie. Don’t miss Mae West’s car parked just down the aisle, and explore vintage Airstreams and Winnebagos.

7 BRISTOL (9 miles/19 min.) Make a stop on the Heritage Trail, which features an array of

gorgeous “quilt gardens” from May 30 to October 1, and continues into the next three towns listed here (and beyond). Maps available at each of the seven sites guide the way.

8 GOSHEN (10 miles/16 min.) You’ll find everything but old bags at the Old Bag Factory, an

artsy enclave of shopping and dining, where you might see a potter molding clay at his wheel, eye-popping quilts in a log cabin and a sculptor at work in his studio.

9 WAKARUSA (11 miles/19 min.) More quilt gardens (and murals) await in this Amish

Country town, which also hosts a popular music festival each summer.

10 NAPPANEE (8 miles/12 min.) This city has— surprise!—still more quilt

gardens, but also Amish Acres Historic Farm & Heritage Resort, a working farmstead with eateries and a theater.

square dancing to classic car and motorcycle shows. You never know what

1 START HERE: MONTICELLO Kick off your drive with a trip to Indi-ana Beach Amusement Resort, an

old-fashioned fun and splash park that’s more Coney Island than Disneyworld. Hey, where else can you still find pinball machines?

2 LAFAYETTE (29 miles/51 min.) Up-and-coming restaurants here include Restauration, a farm-to-

table upscale dining experience. They join classics such as Sgt. Preston’s of the North, whose patio—the biggest in Indiana—is a tempting hangout for tourists, Boilermakers and new friends.

3 WEST LAFAYETTE (3 miles/8 min.) Whatever you want, Town & Gown Bistro probably has

it, serving vegan specialties to hearty open-faced Reubens. Heard of Bruno dough? You need to. It’s deep-fried, brushed with garlic butter, sprinkled with Parmesan and served with house-made sauces at Bruno’s Pizza and Big O’s Sports Room, a local landmark.

4 CRAWFORDSVILLE (29 miles/42 min.) Myriad offbeat museums pop up here, like one for vin-

tage armor and aircraft, one for a rotary jail and the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum, a National Historic Land-mark dedicated to the legacy of the Civil War general and world-renowned author of Ben-Hur.

5 MARSHALL (26 miles/35 min.) Stroll through the ravines of Turkey Run State Park, one

of Indiana’s most beloved outdoor destinations, where sandstone gorges represent 600 to 300 million years of nature taking its course.

6 MANSFIELD (17 miles/21 min.) This town anchors Parke County, known as the Land of

Covered Bridges. If you’re lucky, you’ll be in Mansfield in mid-October for the annual festival of covered bridges, but you can drive through and past these beautifully weatherbeaten wooden gems all year long.

7 BRIDGETON (8 miles/15 min.) If you like antiques, crafts and collectibles, you’ll love shopping

in this authentic old mill town. Best time to come? Covered Bridge Festival in October.

8 TERRE HAUTE (22 miles/35 min.) Your mom used it. You use it. And your kids will probably go

right on measuring from that familiar white tin of baking powder. Taste your way through The Clabber Girl Museum & Bake Shop.

9 CLOVERDALE (38 miles/40 min.) The sprawling Lieber State Recreation Area is lovely,

whether you’re just driving through or getting out to fish, picnic, or splash in the 1,400-acre lake.

10 GREENCASTLE (10 miles/16 min.) Tired yet? This town is a great place to end a

busy day—charming inns, B&Bs and hotels abound here.

1 START HERE: COLUMBUS The amount of amazing architecture here is staggering, but there’s only

one place to begin your journey: the stunning Miller House and Garden. Kids will appreciate stops at the kids-commons children’s museum and the Victorian-style Zaharakos ice-cream parlor.

2 BLOOMINGTON (36 miles/50 min.) Rent bikes at Bicycle Garage Inc. and pedal your way

across rolling countryside or around the quirky downtown. Stroll Kirkwood Avenue for great indie restaurants and shops, or stop in at Upland Brewing Company, just one of the local brewer-ies offering tours.

3 BEDFORD (24 miles/38 min.) Take a guided boat ride on America’s longest underground

river at Bluespring Caverns, or a scenic drive through the Hoosier National Forest, which also offers great hiking, mountain biking and horse trails.

4 MEDORA (22 miles/28 min.) Walk or bike across the Medora Covered Bridge, the longest

historic covered bridge in the U.S.

5 MADISON (48 miles/68 min.) The Bat Cave is back open at Clifty Falls State Park—take a

guided tour to see bats, salamanders and a stunning view of Tunnel Falls cascading 80 feet to the gorge below. Explore the quaint downtown, home to tons of galleries and sweet little shops and restaurants.

6 VEVAY (20 miles/26 min.) Pic-turesque landscapes and scenic valleys form the backdrop of

this town on the Ohio River. Go tasting at one of several wineries.

7 RISING SUN (23 miles/32 min.) Roll the dice at Rising Sun Casino. Sail through treetops

at Dagaz Acres Zipline, howl with the wolves at Redwolf Sanctuary or fly high in a vintage Cessna at Mac’s Seaplanes.

8 MILAN (24 miles/31 min.) Make a basketball pilgrimage to the tiny town that, against all odds,

won the 1954 state championship (and a spot in Indiana folklore). The team’s accomplishments, brought to life in the film Hoosiers, are enshrined in the Mi-lan ’54 Hoosiers Basketball Museum.

9 METAMORA (31 miles/44 min.) Bite into a slab of home-made fudge, toss food to the

ducks along the canal and browse shops housed in historic buildings in Metamora, Indiana’s only working canal town. With its horse-drawn canal boats, gristmill and Whitewater Railroad, the charming ’burg offers a vivid glimpse into the 19th century.

10 GREENSBURG (29 miles/39 min.) Picnic on the grounds of Highpoint Orchard,

whose perch at one of the highest elevations in the county offers sweep-ing views, or buy a bag of farm-fresh apples, peaches or pears and dig in.
