    Welcome to Southern Indiana! This little area is too…read moreincredible! Being new to the area and exploring this visitors center is located in downtown Jeffersonville. Make sure and stop in. The staff here are excited to share the joy of the area. It's not just Jeffersonville here! Go and explore. They have Clarksville and New Albany! But that's as far as we have ventured. As we make our way through the most of our new city, town, neighborhood, and community development this place was packed with al sorts of details. Do you need a reason why? Look no further, you need that perfect location for a reason for coming here. Come in and snap that perfect pic of why you came and stopped here. The area if you choose to stay like us is perfect. Either way this place is a must visit. For the knowledge on the area. They have a small gift shop that carry locally made products for you to purchase as a keepsake. The ironic woman, Rosie the Riveter is from Jeffersonville and they carry a wide variety of products to celebrate her and passion for life. You can do it! Now let's get our passion for life no matter where your road takes you.

    When I visit a new area, I try to stop at the visitor center. These types of places are always so…read moreinformative, and the people who work at visitor centers are always eager to help. You can tell they really love the town/city that they're representing. I love people who genuinely love things. The Southern Indiana Visitor Center definitely has people behind the counter who love Southern Indiana. They made me feel even more psyched than I already was to explore the area. They offered tips on what to see, what to eat, the best places to park, and advice about whether or not I should bundle up before heading out on my walk. (Apparently, I might have looked like I needed more layers.) There are also dozens of brochures and booklets about area attractions, which you can take for free. Basically, if you're thinking of visiting the area, this is the place to visit. The Southern Indiana Visitor Center also has a little gift shop full of Indiana paraphernalia, including magnets, candles, bags, artwork, books, cutting boards and lots more. You can also find merch for the local soccer team, Southern Indiana FC. This visitor center is located in downtown Jeffersonville, within walking distance of the pedestrian bridge that will take you to Louisville.

    Free parking, air conditioning, restrooms, free water, interesting art, and a huuuuge gift shop…read more But more importantly, the two tours we took were excellent. The walking tour starts at the Visitor's center and is an easy neighborhood stroll that includes an explanation of how Columbus became a center of modern architecture and includes entrance to the church that started the ball rolling. The tour of the Miller house also starts at the Visitor's Center, takes you to the Miller house in a van, and shows you this outstanding example of midcentury modern architecture, left just as it was by the family that built it and lived there. The Miller house is otherwise inaccessible - you can't even see it from the street. Both tours were lead by excellent guides and both tours were well worth the ticket price. You don't need a background in architecture to appreciate these tours. Plan ahead and book your tours early.

    The visitors Center is an extraordinary resource for anyone interested in learning about Columbus…read moreand it's incredible architecture and history. I only stopped by to get a map, but instead spent several hours watching films about Irwin Miller, his home and the architecture of Columbus. The building itself is lovely with modern artistic areas and a fabulous Chihuly glass sculpture. The staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgable. One staff member played a film for us (alone) to learn about the local architecture. They offer guided tours of the city and the Miller house. Reservations are required for the tours, which fill up quickly. They have information on their website about the tours so you can book in advance. Their gift shop is filled with art and books about architecture. There is plenty of parking in their private lot. Restrooms are available.
