Switzerland County has its origins in the original wine making Swiss immigrants that migrated into the Ohio River Valley in the early Nineteenth Century. These families were an important part of United States wine making history, as they produced the first commercial wines in the nation. New Switzerland The immigrants named their principal town Vevay, after the Swiss town from which most of them originated. The industrious settlers soon turned the hills and valleys of their new settlement, often called New Switzerland, into productive farms and vineyards. Hay Farming Blight ruined the vines and as wine making declined, Switzerland County became a major hay farming region. Hay presses turned out huge quantities of hay to feed the horses that were vital to the agriculture and transportation needs of the era.

Native American Mound Builders During the Early and Late Woodland Periods the early Native American tribes built mounds, mostly in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys. There are no written records about the purpose of these mounds, so the reasons for building them remain largely speculative. Adena and Hopewell Culture and Mounds People of both the Adena and later Hopewell cultures inhabited the White River region of Mounds State Park. They constructed several mounds on the bluffs above the river. The mounds are well preserved due to the efforts of some of the earliest American settlers in the area, thus the mounds at the park in in good condition. Camping Mounds State Park has a modern campground equipped with modern restrooms and electric hook ups. A camping trip to the park allows visitors the chance to delve into the history of some of Indiana's earliest inhabitants.

Our preference is for Indiana Department of Natural Resources campgrounds like state parks, recreation areas and state forests. Hoosier Destinations Our first summer included visits to wonderful local parks, intriguing museums, historic forts and a stroll across the Ohio River on a repurposed railroad bridge. We camped in the snow at Brown County and marveled at the World's Largest Paintball. At the Minnestria in Muncie the Bob Ross Museum features the studio where his PBS TV series was filmed and in Fort Wayne we found the home of Chief Richardville, a Miami Indian Chief who was at one time the richest man in Indiana. Bison, Fire Towers and Snow At Ouabache State Park a herd of 20 bison roam over a 20-acre prairie where you can observe them from the 110-foot fire tower. We woke up to a fresh blanket of snow at Brown County and wandered through historic log stockade Fort Vallonia and Fort Wayne.
