Autumn has so much to offer in Lawrence County. With the trees ablaze with vibrant colors, everywhere you look is breath-taking. It seems the whole county is alive with the joy of leaf-peeping, harvesting, pumpkin and apple-picking. Indiana is at its best in the Fall. And, Lawrence County, including Bedford and Mitchell, are especially stunning with rolling hills, open tree-lined landscapes and rugged limestone terrain.
