Knox County, Indiana
Knox County sits in southwest Indiana, right on the Wabash River. Vincennes, the county seat, is the star of the show here. In fact, it’s Indiana’s oldest city and was the territorial capital. You can feel the history in its streets.
Summers are hot and sticky, which works out well for their Watermelon Festival. The county is home to Vincennes University, which is perched along the Wabash River.
The George Rogers Clark National Historical Park is a big draw, commemorating the Revolutionary War hero. Knox County has a rich history and strong agricultural roots. It’s a community that’s always moving forward, making it a unique piece of Indiana.
