Veteran tourists traveling Indiana’s Ohio River Scenic Byway will notice a new addition to the experience. Sixty-eight interpretive panels now occupy strategic points of interest, sharing noteworthy facts about great historic communities along the route.

Development of the Ohio River Scenic Byway is designed to attract visitors to the businesses and cultural attractions of its communities. The panels add yet another layer of interest and appeal.  The Indiana Board of the Ohio River Scenic Byway raised $78,000 to match $287,000 in federal funding for the project.

Indiana’s section of the Ohio River Scenic Byway stretches for 303 miles, about six hours driving – if you don’t stop. We suggest an overnight stay, and several breaks for strolling, wine-tasting, antiquing, and dining.

The Indiana Board is developing a web-based directory of the interpretive panels; in the meantime, you can plan your itinerary at www.ohioriverscenicbyway.com.  

But don’t study too much.  Just go and let the Byway do the rest.
