Great Things Effected
When you visit Knox County, Indiana, it’s common to hear folks talk about recent progress. Initiatives, such as INVIN, and the façade grant program, spurred new investments in downtown Vincennes. Projects such as Riverview Apartments, Old Chicago, the Pantheon, Kimmell Park, the Riverwalk, upstairs loft redevelopment, and a number of new restaurants have all contributed to the recent vibrancy of downtown. Not only how much more vibrant downtown Vincennes has become, but also the development at Kimmell Point, the attraction of additional businesses throughout the county, and how the school corporations have invested significantly in our schools.
This short film, Great Things Effected, celebrates the leadership, vision, and action taken to improve Knox County. It was produced for our internal stakeholders, and we hope you will join us in recognizing what an exceptional place this is – one where anything can be accomplished… if we work together.

Housing Availability
From historic downtown neighborhoods and the well-manicured landscapes of subdivisions, to quiet country living, Knox County has a variety of areas to suit the needs of individuals and families alike.
As Vincennes is the oldest city in Indiana, “Old Town” is the legal description of most of the downtown area. Much of Old Town is contained within a federal historic district. Homes in Old Town range from mansions to bungalows.
The Knox County communities of Bicknell, Bruceville, Decker, Freelandville, Monroe City, Oaktown, Sandborn, Vincennes and Wheatland offer quiet, small town living. Those who prefer can find country living, far from streetlights and neighbors, yet within a short drive of community services.
