While walking tours are a wonderful way to explore a city, there are times when you’ve already walked enough and want to rest your feet, but also still want to explore. That’s where historic trolley tours come in handy! These three small Indiana towns provide relaxing, yet fun tours where you can kick back, take in the sights, and take lots of pictures, all while learning a lot about these amazing places. All aboard!
The town of French Lick/West Baden has a lovely tour that travels between the West Lick Springs Hotel and the French Lick Resort. You can book the trolley at either end.
Between the two hotels is a long stretch of lovely woods as well as old parts of this historic small town. The quaint street lamps are just one small part of this town's old-style charm.
Get ready to board the trolley in front of Fearrin's Ice Cream Depot and prepare for a 25-minute tour with a history lesson from the conductor from May to October.
Wabash was the first electrically lighted city on earth as of March 31, 1880. Wabash County is proud of its history and is rather beautiful as well! A tour aboard old Trolley No. 85 is a perfect way to see the sights.
The trolley will take you through its old, storied streets and every stop along the way is friendly and welcoming. Plus, there are seasonal and holiday tours throughout the year.
If you’d like to see more of Indiana, a lovely sunrise-to-sunset one-day road trip will hit the spot. If you like it enough to move, you can live off-the-grid in the small town of Metamora. What else can’t be missed in Indiana? Let us know in the comments.
