Cincinnati is perfectly positioned along the Ohio River in the Tristate area, so we can easily take advantage of all of the charming towns in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. We’ve previously shared one of our favorite riverfront towns in Kentucky that is ideal for a day trip, and now we are heading to Indiana and the historic town of Lawrenceburg. If you haven’t ventured west to this riverfront Main Street in a while, then it’s time to check it out, as the city has spent a lot of time and effort to revitalize the town and make it a spot you’ll want to visit time and time again.
It was a bustling river town in its earlier days, though the action died down in recent decades; however, the sleepy city has come back to life, especially its charming and historic downtown area. Thanks to passionate locals, the town has preserved much of its historic architecture and is now lovingly maintained and picturesque all year long.
Any time is a great time to experience Lawrenceburg, but if you want to make the most of your visit, check it out on a Saturday when the town is holding one of its many festivals or events.
