You might want to tour Kokomo Opalescent Glass Company which has been making glass like they did 100 years ago when a prominent local merchant built the Seiberling Mansion which is now the county historical museum. The second week in October is a beautiful time in Indiana. Yearly total precipitation is 30-40 inches. We usually have 2 or 3 snow days when the school busses can't make it to school. We rarely see tornados - no hurricanes though.
Agriculture is big here since the land is generally flat and the soil good.
Many of the area farmers are graduates including me of Purdue University which is not far away in West Lafayette. Corn and soy beans are the cash crops. Greentown has a reservoir close by. Russiaville is home of quite a baseball team . The indoor museum features military memorabilia.
