Location of This Indiana Country Home For Sale

This old home lies seven miles southeast of Peru, Indiana, a small city located in Miami County, in north-central Indiana. Known as the “Circus Capital of the World,” Peru has a rich history connected to the circus industry, as it was once the winter home for many traveling circuses in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The city still celebrates this legacy with the annual Peru Amateur Circus and the International Circus Hall of Fame.

Peru is situated along the Wabash River, giving it a scenic natural setting. The city’s downtown area is historic, with several older buildings reflecting its past. Peru has a population of around 10,000 people, offering a small-town atmosphere where people know their neighbors, and community events play a significant role in daily life.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy nearby areas like the Mississinewa Reservoir, which offers boating, fishing, camping, and hiking. Additionally, the Nickel Plate Trail, a popular multi-use trail, runs through the region, attracting cyclists and walkers.

Peru also has a strong connection to aviation history, being the birthplace of Cole Porter, the famous American composer, and home to the Grissom Air Museum, which celebrates the legacy of the Grissom Air Reserve Base.

Overall, Peru offers a quiet, family-friendly environment with a mix of small-town charm, historical significance, and access to outdoor recreation.
