Living in Southern Indiana

Floyd County

Floyd County runs from the historic riverfront streets of New Albany up into the rolling hills of the Knobs, where the views stretch all the way to the Louisville skyline. Downtown New Albany is full of restored buildings, local shops, free summer concerts and the big Harvest Homecoming festival each October. Head out toward Floyds Knobs, Georgetown and Greenville for wooded trails, country roads and a classic drive-in movie under the stars.
