10 Flea & Street Markets in Indiana That You Shouldn't Miss
With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.
Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

A must visit place. Treasures and original wood historic facility. There are upstairs and many nooks. Go out the back door and see the “historic village” that is hidden from the street.

I have been going to Whites for years! Never know what you might find there. Live the animal auction that ends out the day. They haven't been having the evening events due to Covid-19 but I hope they ring them back as well. Really miss the days they used to have bands here at night. Would love to have them add another day for the flea market or even weekends. It is hard to go during the week if you work.

This is a great way to spend your Saturday morning, whether you are a local or a visitor. Lots of fresh produce, veggies, honey, meat products and more. Usually always something unique going on at City Hall at same time (wellness fairs, chili cook-offs, craft fairs, etc.). Tons of options for breakfast - coffee, pastries, fresh bread. Great place for all ages.

I love going here and can spend hours of my time searching through the booths. This time, I made the mistake of taking my two small children. Their attention spans did not allow me to spend much time here. I advise you to leave your kids somewhere when you plan to come here. The deals are there if you have the time to look for them.

The flea market is in Amish country, and yes did expect a lot of Amish Handcrafts. The. Ark etc was a combination of eclectic finds. There was beautiful lace doilies and place,arts, to fabric, craft finds, outdoor collections. There is over 700 stalls. Yes there is the common Asian stalls, but the rest are wonderful. Handmade signs, home decor, garden metal figurines. They are very welcoming people, if you have something specific you are looking for just ask, they are very willing to help you. Tuesday and Wednesday 8-4 opening hours. You can reserve scooters and wagons, but get in early because they run out.
