Historic Metamora

What is Metamora? Metamora is a historic town in itself with over 50 shops, eateries and Indiana B&B's but also is home of the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site.

The state of Indiana assumed management of a 14-mile section of the canal in 1946 and today operates a horse-drawn canal boat and the grist mill. The grist mill is still in operation, producing meal and flour, much as it has for more than 100 years. Visitors can step back in time while taking a leisurely 25-minute cruise on the Ben Franklin III. Along the route they pass the Duck Creek Aqueduct, a covered bridge that carries the canal 16 feet over Duck Creek. It is believed to be the only structure of its kind in the nation.

With the charm of all the historical buildings, the appearance of days gone by, the shopping and the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site you are sure to experience a fun filled day or weekend discovering life as it was in the past. This is truly a one-of-a-kind town.

The most asked question about Metamora - When is Metamora open? People don't think of Metamora as a town but that is what it is. It is not an ammusement park or a museum that opens and closes it's doors at a certain time. You can visit Metamora anytime just like you can visit any town. The State Historic Site operates on a schedule but the shop are all privte owned properties and they determine their own schedule. There is no overseeing force that tells the shopowners when they must have thier shops open.
