Goshen

Goshen is the prototypical small Indiana town. Nice courthouse, some decent houses here and there, and a Wal-Mart. The county fair is here, if you’re into that. It might be worth a drive through if you were on the way somewhere else.

Goshen College is here, and it’s a nice small liberal-arts school that’s Mennonite, but doesn’t want people to know it’s Mennonite, but really dude, it’s Mennonite.

I used to work in an industrial park in Goshen for a summer, and had to drive out there every day from Elkhart. I also had a good friend who went to college there, and visited often. It’s a nice, quaint little town, and I’m hesitant to say this is totally not worth visiting, but it’s no Disneyland.

Can we say out in the middle of nowhere? Wow. I was here for a concert at the Elkhart County 4-H fair last year. It’s nothing but Amish country. You can get very lost out on the country roads especially if it’s dark. I won’t be coming back unless somebody really good is playing.

It’s only worth visiting if you have friends or family in the area. There is a decent dinner near Goshen College but it’s not worth driving to the middle of nowhere just to eat there.
