Students are given a first rate education, and the choices for further education are endless as scholars can look to Louisville, or Indianapolis, or even look further afield if they so desire. For the nature lover, there is Charlestown State Park. This park just extended its boundaries with an additional 1,849 acres, giving an even greater sense of “getting away from it all”. With scenic vistas of the Fourteenmile Creek valley and elevation changes of over 200 feet, Charlestown has much to offer the visitor with this diversity. While hiking the rugged terrain you will see fossil outcrops and areas of sinkholes. Bird watchers will enjoy the 72 species of birds, including blue birds, black vultures and an occasional Bald Eagle. Louisville itself offers a quality of life that is matched by few in the country. Not only is Louisville one of nine communities with a resident professional opera, theater, orchestra, ballet and children's theater.
