I was pleasantly suprised by this museum. Due to its location I assumed there was not much here, but I was wrong. The museum offers the purple heart trail, which exhibits over 30 aircraft that have been used by the US military throughout the years. Each plane had a placard that discussed its uses by the armed forces. This is a very interesting museum of military history.

This is one of the nicest State Parks in Indiana. It's clean and very well maintained. The fishing is great and the beach area is always clean.

I have run on 4 different sections of the Nickel Plate Trail over the course of 3 visits to the area. I love to run, apart from vehicles and their exhaust. There are parts of the trail that cross roads but they are clearly marked and come with stops signs. A fast bicyclist may come upon these intersections quickly so exercise caution at faster bicycle speeds. Some areas of the trail seem remote so it is always best to use the trail with a buddy. For my next visit I'd like to see if I can rent a bike in order to get the most out of the trail.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8 reviews
The Roxy 5 was opened in 2012. Following the corporate closing of Peru's previous chain-owned theater, community leaders came together to found the Roxy 5. Awarded the Golden Shovel by the then mayor, Jim R. Walker, The Roxy Theater stood as a shining light among local business in tough economic times. Open now for 5+ years, the Roxy 5 always puts the customer & community first. The Roxy 5 is also available for group bookings, parties and events. Please contact us for more info. Doors open a half hour before the first show. Doors and concessions close a half hour after the start of the last show of the evening.

Our local theater is a wonderful asset for the community. The facility is clean and well-maintained; with comfortable seating, and friendly staff. The prices are reasonable, especially in comparison to cities like Chicago and Indy. Also, one benefit of a smaller community is; even popular first-run movies, can be viewed with minimal crowded inconvenience, fairly shortly after release.
