The quiet, rolling hills, peaceful, easy rivers, and beautiful, old-growth forests of Owen County are a welcoming area of seclusion just minutes away from the busy cities of Bloomington and Indianapolis, Indiana. Offering plenty of room to go off-roading, hiking, or wherever the day takes you, Owen County’s small-town environment makes it a family-friendly place to live, learn, play, and grow.

Roll the windows down and take a leisurely cruise through downtown Spencer, past locally-owned businesses, and wave hello at friends and neighbors. The recently revitalized business area boasts an array of options for your dining and shopping pleasure, as well as serving other typical needs. International cuisine, interesting boutiques, and locally-crafted art are all available in the heart of the community.

Hike through the forest and hunt morel mushrooms in the spring. Hang out in a hammock all summer. Catch Friday night football at Owen Valley High School on chilly nights in the fall. Gather around the fire pit with family and friends in the winter. Raise your family. Grow old together.
