This place is so cute! The small town of Nashville has little shops
you can venture around in and small eateries you can’t go wrong
with. Brown County is a beautiful area to hike while Yellowstone is
too (in addition to kayaking). It’s about a 30 minutes drive from
the Downtown area where you’ll find College Mall in Bloomington.

Fairfax Inn that has cheap food and drinks here and a convenience store (gas, eggs, milk, bread, sunscreen, toothbrush, lake floats, etc.) on the corner before the entrance of the Fairfax Recreational Park.

Amish Country
If you want to see local Amish, We recommend taking a trip to
Odon, Indiana and stopping in at the Odon Meat Locker and the
Dutch Pantry in Odon. Every Friday at 6pm they do a real Amish
Auction at Dinky’s in Montgomery. And if you are going to venture
out here, you need to stop at Gasthof Amish Village for their
famous buffet dinner and all you can eat homemade desserts. You may even stop in the bakery next door for some fresh bread and pies to take home! Always check the hours at Gasthof because they change frequently. https://www.gasthofamishvillage.com/
