Cass County, Indiana
Cass County is located in north-central Indiana, about an hour north of Indianapolis. Logansport, the county seat, sits near the center of the county and is known for its historic downtown and impressive iron bridges crossing the area’s rivers.
A century ago, Cass County was a busy center of industry along the Wabash River. Today, the county continues to have a strong manufacturing sector, although its communities now have a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere.
The Dentzel Carousel in Riverside Park remains one of the county’s cherished local attractions. The Wabash and Eel Rivers are also important natural features that shape the area’s landscape. While Cass County may not attract major headlines, its small-town character and community spirit make it a special place for residents.
