Millersburg, IN

Millersburg is an Elkhart County town laid out in 1855 and named for its founder, Solomon Miller. The town's strongest local connection is education: the old K-12 school gave way to Fairfield Junior-Senior High School in 1968, and Millersburg Elementary now serves children from town and nearby rural areas. The elementary school is part of Fairfield Community Schools and has a large Amish enrollment, a detail that ties the schoolhouse to the farm communities around Millersburg. The town itself is a compact township center, with its founder's name, the school, and the roads into northern Indiana farm country carrying most of the place's story.
