"If you're looking for fun things to see and do close to home without blowing your life's savings Jessica Nunemaker's just-published guide, Little Indiana: Small Town Destinations, is for you.

Little Indiana is a great resource of the unusual (blueberry cheddar cheese in Cambridge City?) and the hidden spots (shrimp farm, really?) across the state. I can't wait to use it as my guide for future travels."-Carrie Lambert, Indiana Tourism Professional
