Step Into the Stories That Shaped the Region

History and culture are woven into everyday life in the Sugar River Region.

Explore frontier life, walk through sculpture gardens shaped by one of America’s great artists, and enjoy a performance in one of our two opera houses. Red-brick mill buildings along the Sugar River are a reminder of the industrial energy that once powered the region. Add in our ten covered bridges, local history museums, arts center, craft fairs, makerspace, and private studios, and you’ll find layers of culture, enterprise, community and creativity that continue to evolve.
