This is so great, I have been looking for things to do with my soon to be husband, you guys made it fun and easy to come and see your town!! Can't wait to go and see your cute town!

 

My fiance and i stayed the weekend in metamora and we stayed at the grapevine inn. It was very nice! We had a great time walking around the town,shopping is always fun there, i think we both gained a few pounds the candy shops are so fun to go into.The smelly gourmet is a wonderful place to get a iced coffee with a double shot of ameretto! We ate dinner one night at C J'S it was a very good place to eat they have the best sausage sandwich,i told the owner i have not had one that good since i left N.Y. We are now planning on having our wedding in the park next summer around july 4.  Thank you christina allen & james

 

I visit Metamora as often as possible!  My aunt & I love going just to step back in time!  The shops are wonderful and so are the people.  Woodworks Etc. is my favorite shop - Ron custom made a headboard for me and I love it.  Would love to see more people visit throughout the year. Christina, Blooming Grove

 

Your website is great!!!! Super Job... We are looking forward to our yearly Christmas visit this will be our 13th year!!!! Thanks for always providing a place of tradition and comfort. Jacinda from KY.

 

Charles, Nelda and son Benjamin Herrald just came back from your town. We stayed at The Thorpe Country Inn (hi Jean, we had a lovely time) and got coffees from The Smelly Gormet (wonderful shop). We walked all over town and throughly enjoyed just looking at all the buildings and the really funny tree with a branch on the ground. We even walked up 52 for supper at the Restaurant (yum) and had ice cream at Granny's. Visited several shops and purchased items. We had a very good two days and we are simply saying THANK YOU for such a lovely two-day vacation. We also rode the train down on Thursday and back on Friday.  Lovely town and lovely vacation. Again, a great big thank you to all the lovely people we met and talked with while there. You are such wonderful people.

 

Last year when we were planning our wedding, I found the Hospitality House B & B on your website. It said they had indoor & outdoor weddings.  After meeting with the owner, Betty Rady, we decided to get married in the gazebo on October 28, 2006.  Betty was wonderful she helped us with every detail and even had a backup plan to have the wedding at the United Methodist Church.  It was sunny that day but very windy and cool so we had the wedding in the church. Betty and her staff had it decorated beautifully. We really enjoyed the carriage ride around town after the ceremony.  We stayed at the B & B that night it was so nice and cozy and the breakfast Sunday morning was great!  We have always enjoyed visiting Metamora now it's even more special to us.  Terry & Melinda    Richmond, IN 

 

Hello there young man.  Michael and I visited your town this weekend and we just wanted to give a big thanks
to the warm and pleasant people we met.  We had the opportunity to hear you play and I had a delicious cup of coffee the next day.  It was a beautiful time!  Could you please tell Catrina hello and hope she's doing well!  Thanks so much!

 

I have been to Canal Days almost every year for about the past 8 or 9 years.  I look forward to visiting Metamora each and every year.  I now have recruited friends and coworkers to come with me, we are already planning our trip for this year.  See you soon.  Vickie L. in Ky.

 

My husband and I are planning a trip to Metamora this weekend for the annual canal days festivities. This website provided us with lots of useful information.

 

Your web site is great. We just came back from a visit to your great little town. We were just sorry that we hadn't come later so we could have stayed for the canal fest. We are going to revisit you next year and we will be staying for the fest. - Lou and Lorrie

 

Love It! Did not know how many things there were to do in this quaint Indiana town.  And I'm from here!! - Lisa

 

What a great site and shows the "true" Metamora! I was born and raised in Metamora and couldn't think of a better place to be. It's a loving little town!

 

I was in Metamora Friday, November 25th. I just wanted to say my Vanilla Latte was yum, and the bath bombs I bought are awesome. You (the Smelly Gourmet) are a fun shop; we (family and friends) really enjoyed hanging out in there.  We’ll come back again in the New Year as we are all near Cincinnati. Have a fun time with all the Christmas shoppers and keep them warm with the fabulous coffee drinks.

 

Your website is awesome. You have really done a great job. Your shop shows the success of two really talented people. It really is a fun place to be and my wife and I really love visiting you. We know you are going to be successful beyond your imagination.

 

I just happened to come across Metamora about 10 years ago, while taking a weekend trip with my husband.  Since then, I have gone down every fall but one.  I've taken my son down there, my mom, and my sister and her fiance'.  Mostly, it's my hubby & I staying in one of your adorable B & Bs.  I get excited a month in advance.  If you haven't been, the B & Bs are fun, kids love the train ride, and the fudge is awesome.  You need two days to visit all the little shops, though.  We're trying out the Grapevine Inn this year.  See ya 9/29! Rick & Elaine Taylor Amboy, IN 

 

Website is great.  I printed a map from it and studied the venders.  Do you have a box set out so One could donate a small amount toward purchasing the McLynn property? A lot of small amounts would add up.  Thank You.

 

Your website is very informative and your town looks so interesting.  One thing I have not been able to find is if there is a public park where a family could have a picnic.  Please can you let me know if there is such a place. Thank you in anticipation of a quick reply. Janet (Indianapolis)

There is a small park with a gazebo, and several picnic tables around town.  None of them has barbeque grills, but the tables are nice.
