About Geneva

Geneva is a quiet, friendly small town tucked into rural eastern Indiana, best known for its deep roots in nature and local history. It was the longtime home of author and naturalist Gene Stratton-Porter, who drew inspiration from the wild beauty of the surrounding Limberlost Swamp for beloved books like *A Girl of the Limberlost*. Today, her preserved cabin operates as a popular state historic site, and the Limberlost name remains woven into the community through nearby nature preserves, walking trails, and local festivals.

Living here offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle where neighbors look out for one another. Local students attend South Adams Schools on a combined K-12 campus just four miles north in Berne, which serves as a central hub for sports and community activities. For daily routines, residents enjoy a welcoming town library branch, quiet parks, and local diners, while convenient highway access makes it easy to commute for shopping, healthcare, and jobs across Adams County.
