Welcome to the Sullivan County Indiana, home of
outdoor recreation. Sullivan County, is tucked away in the
Southwest corner of Indiana, and made up of lakes,
farms, and small charming communities. We are in a very
historic region; a part of the Old’ Northwest Territory,
a little north of Fort Sackville and Fort Knox in
Vincennes, a little south of Fort Harrison in Terre
Haute. We are right in the middle of what once was a
wild area; a “no-man’s land” of major Native American
and military trails, Indian villages and isolated
frontier settlements along the famous Wabash River.
We thoroughly enjoy our rich heritage and think you will,
too. Sullivan County is the home of the Carlisle Correctional
Facility, one of Indiana's newest and largest prisons, the Merom
Power Station, whose huge smokestacks are a county landmark,
several large coalmines and conservation projects. The city of
Sullivan is the county seat and you will find that the resident
are both friendly and out going, always willing to lend a
helping hand.
