Monroe County, Indiana

Monroe County feels like the cultural heart of southern Indiana. Bloomington, the county seat, is home to Indiana University. But this county isn’t all about students and professors.
You’ll find a mix of rolling hills, forests, and farmland once you get out of town. Lake Monroe, the state’s largest lake, is a big draw for boaters and beach-goers.
You might catch the Little 500 bicycle race in spring, made famous by the movie “Breaking Away”. Monroe County is a blend of Midwest charm and progressive attitudes.
