It offers visitors a unique taste of both industrial history and simple Amish life, creating a welcoming and culturally rich destination.

Industrial Roots: The city has a rich history in manufacturing, particularly in handcrafted kitchen cabinetry (notably the famous "Hoosier" cabinets made by Coppes) and, more recently, Recreational Vehicles (RVs) and manufactured homes.

Coppes Commons: This historic former factory now operates as a unique marketplace, housing specialty shops, an ice cream parlor, and local food vendors, celebrating the city's manufacturing past.
