Meet the Amish of Davis County!

Davis County is home to the most Amish families in the state of Iowa. The Amish community in Davis County is located west of Bloomfield in the Drakesville and West Grove communities. The community consists of well-kept farms and thriving businesses.

Currently there are about 1,400 Old Order Amish living in Davis County. The first Amish family purchased farmland south of Drakesville in Davis County in 1971 after scouting around numerous communities for several years. Lower farmland prices and people who seemed friendly and accepting were draws to Davis County. Other reasons also led the Amish to choose Davis County. A quality hospital within driving distance with horse and buggy was essential. At that time Bloomfield also offered bus service and there were horse sales at the local sale barn.

Today, there about 300 Amish families in the county. By the fall of 2019, seventeen schools were educating about 400 children in grades one through eight. In 1972, after years of struggle, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the case of Wisconsin vs Yoder that the Amish had the right to educate their children according to their religious beliefs without interference from the government.

The first Amish families that moved to the county made their living by farming, but they soon realized the soil in much of Davis County was not as fertile as the soil they had cultivated in other parts of the country. Gradually, family members began creating businesses especially where they saw a niche that was compatible with their craftsman skills and way of life. Today only about a dozen families make their living entirely by farming. There are over 90 businesses listed on the Amish Business Map that can be downloaded from the website or can be obtained at the Davis County Welcome Center on North Highway 63 in Bloomfield.

100 Miles from Des Moines on the Missouri border, this rural community is home to beautiful parks and community events like the Country & Old Time Music Festival. The region is currently offering tax abatement incentives to the tune of $10,000 if you build a home in the region.

Today, Crawfordsville continues to amaze with its innovative roots and collaborative approach to place building. In fact, many of its amenities and programs are those usually seen in much larger communities.

In 2015, Crawfordsville became an Indiana Stellar Communities designee, a statewide program which provides resources to communities for transformational quality of place initiatives. As a designee, Crawfordsville leveraged millions of dollars to invest in--and complete--a number of very successful projects. These included a city-wide bike/pedestrian trail system linking the Wabash College campus to downtown, Pike Place an outside events venue and park, and the City's cornerstone project--Fusion 54. This multi-story facility houses a synergistic collaboration of growth entities such as the Fusion 54 Center, - an entrepreneurship support organization and coworking location, Wabash College's Center for Innovation, Crawfordsville Economic Development, and Volunteer 54.  

Another unique project currently underway is the repurposing of a historical landmark in the heart of downtown known as the Ben Hur Building. When complete it will house a boutique hotel, restaurant, and penthouse apartments.

Understanding the dynamics of the housing market, the City has taken proactive steps to affect change in this sector by working in partnership with residential developers to create the diversity of housing inventory required to attract young millennials, young professionals with children, and active seniors. As a 10GB location, Crawfordsville's fiber infrastructure can support the technology needs of remote workers and e-learners alike, and when combined with an average cost-per-square-foot of $100 and a median selling price of $149,000 for a single-family residence, makes Crawfordville a highly desirable location.

Marion is a small city of about 28,000 people in the heart of Indiana. The city has emerged over the past few years, shifting gradually from manufacturing to more and more entrepreneurism while maintaining key factories like General Motors’ Marion Metal Center and Atlas Foundry.


Marion is known as the “City of Champions” for its perseverance, its pride in the arts, in sports such as high school basketball and college football, but most importantly, for its people. The city even names a 

 to feature local residents displaying servant leadership, driving positive change in the community, or even achieving something extraordinary. Many residents are natives, but many, many more make Marion their lifelong home. We even have a Marion flag, and a hashtag, #ChampionMarion.


The historic downtown has many gems to discover…from the James Dean Memorial Theater, and his Birth Site Memorial, to the restored Coliseum which was the first home to high school championship games and now to the Grant County Family YMCA. Entrepreneurs have nestled into downtown Marion to birth businesses such as a bicycle repair shop with trendy retail, a retro-fresh record shop, an art gallery and painting studio, boutiques and home décor, a barbecue hot spot, authentic Mexican, seafood, and don’t forget ice cream, coffee, and smoothie shops. There are more eateries and places for nightlife in addition to co-working spaces downtown.


People from all over the world have made their dreams come true in and around Marion, Indiana, with the low cost of living and “quality of life” amenities. Many are graduates of Indiana Wesleyan University or Taylor University who plant and bloom. Many more are families who move here for an employment opportunity and find there is so much to offer in Marion.


Marion is a champion for the outdoors! There are more than a dozen parks around the city, with one encompassing the stunning Gardens of Matter Park along the Mississinewa River which becomes a winter wonderland during the world-renowned Walkway of Lights tour. You’ll enjoy walking the two-mile Mississinewa Riverwalk that connects to downtown. If you prefer biking or skating, we suggest taking the Cardinal Greenway which spans 62 miles from Grant County to the eastern Indiana border. If you prefer the water, we have the Splash House, a surfer’s dream with some of the tallest waves in the state! In addition to this family-friendly attraction, we encourage you to take the kids along the Grant County Garfield Trail, from where the Cool Cat’s creator hails.


Marion champions arts and entertainment. There are many festivals and attractions highlighting Marion and Grant County’s heritage. The city is also known as “Home of the Hog.” The nickname, “hog,” for Harleys or large motorcycles originated in Marion following a famous race in 1920 where the winner took a victory lap with a pet piglet. Each year, Marion hosts “Hog Daze” for motorcycle enthusiasts featuring live bands. Speaking of motors, two more booming events take place in Marion. One is the longstanding Fly/In Cruise/In for historical air and autocraft enthusiasts, and more recently, a new flavor of car enthusiasm is igniting with the Indy Airstrip Attack featuring super-charged racing down the local airport runway. A world record was set in Marion for the fastest half-mile at nearly 260 miles per hour! Switching gears, Marion is just south of the historic Battle of the Mississinewa, the first offensive victory of the American Army during the War of 1812. Thousands caravan into town during reenactment weekend. In Marion, you’ll also step back in time at the Quilters Hall of Fame, home of quilt designer and pioneering entrepreneur, Marie Webster.


Marion is a legendary champion of sports. Marion High School has a handful of state titles in boys’ basketball, and the legacy and excitement continue. IWU in recent years developed a football team at the original Marion campus. Going to a home game in the legendary Bill Green Arena for Marion Giants’ high school basketball or sitting in IWU’s state-of-the art stadium to see a Wildcats football game is a must-do. There is something for just about anyone in the name of sports in Marion - from golf to disc golf courses to tennis and even pickleball courts!


People who land here love it here. Marion is a special place, where you’ll feel like a member of the team, part of the family, and a life-long friend to the community. Go ahead, make your move!
