Noblesville
A Downtown Destination
A stroll around the Noblesville downtown square is like taking a trip back in time to days of a past era. The centerpiece of the square is the historic county courthouse, built in 1879 in the Second Empire style and renovated in the 1990’s. Around the Courthouse Square are unique shops featuring antiques, art, local crafts, gifts, a pottery studio, a game store, home décor, clothing and more. Just a few steps away from downtown, a trail leads to some of Noblesville’s other historic attractions. To be enjoyed either on foot or on a bike, the 3.5 mile White River Greenway Trail is a winding pathway that follows the White River. It tours through Forest Park, a special park that offers an aquatic center, mini-golf, a carousel and more. The trail then leads to the 1871 Potter’s Bridge, the only remaining covered bridge in Hamilton County, and surrounding park. In Noblesville, history comes alive with a modern twist and inviting places.

Noblesville is fortunate to have the Historic Hamilton County Courthouse as an anchor on the courthouse square. Originally built in 1879 in the second empire style, and renovated in the 1990s, the courthouse continues to house county offices. The square surrounding it has a reputation as a thriving retail center with small, locally owned shops and restaurants in a walkable environment that reminds visitors and residents of a slower, more leisurely time.
There’s No Place Like Home
This is a big year for the Noblesville Preservation Alliance. We purchased our first building, which will serve as our permanent home and a community center. We have been renovating it this year and in late summer will add a new porch on the front. It will be ready in time for our annual Historic Home Tour, a city-wide event which always happens on the third Saturday of September. This year its September 18, 2021. It’s been a long time coming and we are ready to celebrate. More details on our renovation and the home tour are on our website. We look forward to seeing you.
