Noblesville.
Hamilton County's seat, built around a historic courthouse square on the White River.
The lowdown
Noblesville is the Hamilton County seat, about 22 miles northeast of downtown Indy. Everything orbits the square and its striking courthouse, lined with antique shops, art studios and local restaurants. The White River riverwalk is a block away. Federal Hill Commons hosts concerts and a farmers market, and the Nickel Plate Trail runs through town. Homes range from older houses near the square to newer neighborhoods spreading toward Morse Reservoir and I-69.

Hamilton County Courthouse Square
Walk the square, shop the antique stores, and get the courthouse in your photos. It's the town's centerpiece.

9th Street Bistro
A tiny room with a global menu that changes often. Book ahead and order the fish.
- Coffee
Indie Coffee Roasters
Right next to Federal Hill Commons. Order whatever seasonal drink the baristas came up with this month.

Noblesville Creates
Gallery and artist studios a block off the square. First Fridays bring live music and open studios.

Big outdoor summer concerts. Bring a blanket for the lawn and get there early for parking.
