First stop was the Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand, Indiana. (It's about 90 miles east of Evansville.) It's home to the Sisters of St. Benedict. Did you know Indiana was home to such an architectural beauty? It was a beauty on the inside as well, though I didn't feel like I could photograph it. Nuns were watching, you know.
Next stop was Corydon, Indiana's first state capitol. The capitol only lasted nine years before it moved to sunny Indianapolis. It's only 40 square feet, but it's still $2 to look the place over. At that rate, what do you think they charge for Biltmore?
And the last stop was Schimpff's Candy Store and Museum in Jeffersonville. This is the best kind of museum, as it not only featured the history of candy, but it sold modern examples of it as well.
If you're willing to put 320 miles on your car or truck, this trip can be yours. Highly recommended.
