Township of Randolph

Start your adventure at Wea Ridge Elementary School, where education is the focus and fun is mandatory! Check out the playground and channel your inner child; I hear the swings are still just as thrilling when you’re 32! While you’re there, strike up a conversation with a local parent about the school’s community events. You’ll get a firsthand scoop on what’s happening in this charming area!

Indiana is known for its agriculture, and the farms around Randolph Township provide a beautiful backdrop to enjoy some fresh air and maybe even pick a pumpkin if the season is right! Get your hands dirty and learn about local farming practices. Quirky side note: watch out for the cows—they have been known to get moody if you dawdle too long. Grab some farm-fresh goodies to snack on while you enjoy the serenity of nature!

Feeling a bit political? Why not attend a local board meeting? It could be your chance to see democracy in action! Plus, you’ll probably hear more interesting debates than in a soap opera—who knew zoning ordinances could be so riveting! Just make sure you keep your comments brief, or you might get called out for being “that person”!

Randolph Township has some lovely parks perfect for a leisurely stroll or a full-blown picnic. With picturesque scenery and open spaces, you can snap a selfie to make your friends jealous. Just don’t forget to keep an eye out for wildlife; I hear the squirrels have been known to pose for photos! Bring some snacks to share with the grass (but not the pets)—they can get pretty entitled!

Round off your tour with a meal at some of the delightful local diners or eateries. These hidden gems often boast homemade dishes that will tantalize your taste buds with flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Request a slice of pie for dessert—rumor has it that it’s a local tradition and might just be the best pie you’ve ever tasted! Don those stretchy pants; you’ll need them for the next round of dining!
