Country Life Moves at a Slower Pace

Travel the back roads of Parke County and you will notice growing fields of produce among the pastoral scenes of verdant fields and grazing cattle. The farmers put a lot of effort into these crops and visitors are always impressed with the quality of the fruits and vegetables grown on this land.

The historic collection of covered bridges that punctuate the countryside are also a source of pride for those who call Parke County their home. These elegant structures have weathered the test of time and blend with the rolling hills to create unique scenes that have inspired poets and artists for years.
