Outdoor time comes naturally here.

Closer to home, summer calendars fill quickly with youth sports, local fundraisers, and the long-running Martinsville Agricultural Fair, a community tradition that brings neighbors together for livestock shows, rides, and classic Midwestern fare. Weekends often include quick trips to see the giant roadside art in Casey, antique hunting along the National Road, or a leisurely meal at a family-run diner where you’ll be recognized by your second visit.
