New Carlisle is a small town located in St. Joseph County on US 20 between South Bend and Michigan City. It has a population of about 1800. Not far away is Hudson Lake and Rolling Prairie.
New Carlisle is a very nice, clean small town with several businesses. It is a very pretty town. New Carlisle is also home to the famous house from "PRANCER".
The house is now turned into a bed and breakfast with a museum. It is called Inn at the Old Republic. This shows you a bit of the house and its history http://www.innatoldrepublic.net/ , it's very beautiful there. I did take some pictures.
We wandered around the downtown, enjoying music playing and the smells and beautiful colors of fall. There's a Wells Fargo Bank, a dentist office, some shops, a hardware, a coffee shop, and a hair salon.
There's a place called Miller's Home Cafe which offers a smorgasboard. It's a very tasty place! They also have a place which serves Austrian Food. I have not had the chance to visit there yet. It's called Moser's Austrian Cafe. Yes - New Carlisle calls most of their restaurants - Cafe.
In the summer they have "hometown days" and a town wide yard sale. In the fall there is a Heritage Fair where people are dressed like the old days and show how to do tatting, chair weaving etc.
It's worth the trip to visit!
