In a state as relatively flat as Indiana, you may be surprised to encounter anything as exciting as a hilltop hike in a secluded forest with serene views, but that's not the only surprise the Hoosier State has in store. Tucked away in the Wabash Valley is a town with such a strong Italian-descent community that an entire festival was created to celebrate the heritage.
Just about a 90-minute drive west of Indianapolis (and Indianapolis International Airport), and only 20 minutes from Terre Haute, is Clinton, also known as the "Little Italy Festival Town". In the early 1900s, Clinton welcomed an influx of immigrants from northern Italy, who came to the Midwest in search of work in the coal mines.
