Claypool balances small-town ease with practical perks, where rail-town roots meet agribusiness and easy access to lakes and trails. Just a quick hop from Warsaw and the boutiques and greenways of Winona Lake, it sits at the crossroads of State Roads 15 and 25, making commutes and weekend outings simple. Local employment ranges from family-run enterprises to the major footprint of the Louis Dreyfus Company’s Claypool complex, a nationally significant soybean and biodiesel facility that underscores the area’s agricultural heritage and modern innovation.
