North Salem invites you to slow the pace without losing access to what matters. Tucked into the northwest corner of Hendricks County, the town sits within an easy drive of Danville, Brownsburg, and Indianapolis, making commutes and weekend plans straightforward. Historic storefronts line Main Street, and locals swear by the wood-fired pies at Perillo’s—set in a century-old bank building—perfect for a post-game or post-hike gathering at Perillo’s Pizzeria.
Outdoors, you’re minutes from the trails, creek overlooks, and year-round programs at McCloud Nature Park, a Hendricks County Parks gem with prairie, woodland, and Big Walnut Creek access at McCloud Nature Park. Cyclists and walkers can extend their adventures on the county’s growing greenway system via the scenic Vandalia Trail. Community spirit peaks each Labor Day weekend with North Salem Old Fashion Days, where a parade, tractor pulls, live music, and artisan booths bring the town together at North Salem Old Fashion Days. Countywide events—from home shows to rodeos—add even more to the calendar at the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds & Conference Complex.
Families appreciate the strong local schools served by the North West Hendricks School Corporation, including North Salem Elementary and the Tri-West campuses, at North West Hendricks School Corporation. For dining ideas, festivals, and hidden gems, the local tourism team keeps an up-to-date guide at Visit Hendricks County.
