Vanderburgh County, Indiana
Vanderburgh County is where Indiana gets a little more urban, with a side of river-town charm. Evansville is the county seat and Indiana’s third-largest city.
This county has range. One minute you’re in downtown Evansville, and the next you’re in farm country. It’s like someone took a piece of the city and plunked it down in the middle of classic Hoosier farmland.
While you’re here, check out the University of Southern Indiana. Don’t forget about Mesker Park Zoo and the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science, either.
