Hendricks County

Hendricks County

It’s a place where time stands still and moves forward all at once.

All this while being a place that offers the comforts of progress through its new hotels, meeting facilities, restaurants and shopping centers.

In Hendricks County, we embrace the simplicity of another time while enjoying the progress of today. Hendricks County is on the edge of Covered Bridge Country and downtown Indianapolis.

For those who crave the wide-open spaces and simple pleasures of golf, orchard picking, and outdoor recreation, it is a haven just outside of the big city.
