Batesville

Few cities in Indiana have a history as closely tied to casket manufacturing as Batesville. Set amid the rolling farmland of southeastern Indiana, the city grew after the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad reached the area in the 1850s, linking it with regional markets. Batesville Casket Company, founded here in 1884 by John A. Hillenbrand, gave the town an industrial identity that remains part of its story. Its compact centre and surrounding countryside reflect the agricultural character of this part of the state.
