Agritourism
at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods and nearby
Agritourism is a combination of agriculture and tourism. Of the about 1,000 acres of land at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, owned by the Sisters of Providence, you’ll find a herd of 40 fuzzy alpacas; flock of about 150 laying chickens; 7-acre USDA certified organic garden with high tunnels and greenhouses and an orchard; berry patches; nature trail; and a Farm Store.
You can schedule a guided tour or do a self-guided tour of all areas or portions of the small farm.

Wabash River
We are minutes from the Wabash River, which is biologically rich. There have been 75 rare species of mussels and 151 species of fish call the Wabash River home. This is among many reasons conservationists call the Wabash River a treasure in Indiana. Paddlefish and lake sturgeon inhabit the river. Read more about the Wabash in the Tribune Star.
The shells inside Saint Anne Shell Chapel came from the Wabash River in 1875.
