Medaryville, IN

Medaryville grew up as a mid-nineteenth-century railroad stop along the old Monon Line, and that relaxed rural pace still shapes the town today. Situated in northwestern Indiana along U.S. 421, the community sits right where open prairie farmland blends into the scenic wetlands of the Kankakee basin. It is a quiet, friendly place with wide skies and plenty of open space, ideal for anyone who appreciates the simplicity of small-town living.
