The area that is now Elkhart was first occupied by Ottawa, Chippewa, and Potawatomi tribes. In 1821, a local doctor purchased the land for this town from a half-French, half-Potawatomi chief and established Elkhart as a rival town to the nearby Pulaski village. Over time, Elkhart grew larger than Pulaski, gaining an official post office whereas Pulaski did not. Today, Pulaski is a part of the Elkhart city area.
In 1851, Elkhart's first railroad was built, and in 1852, Elkhart's first passenger train ran. After the town's railroad was up and running, the city's population boomed as many factories and mills moved in. Then, in 1934, Elkhart's first RV factory opened up, and the town soon began producing enough RVs to earn its nickname of "RV Capital of the World," a moniker it still holds today.
When visiting Elkhart, check out the city's National New York Central Railroad Museum to learn more about the town's historic railroads and train cars. You can also check out the RV/MH Hall of Fame & Museum on Elkhart's outskirts to see the history of recreational vehicle and motorhome manufacturing in the city. While you're there, tour vintage RVs like a 1930s Chevrolet Housecar. Another local must-see is the Midwest Museum of American Art, which is known for its Norman Rockwell lithographs.
Any time you're in Elkhart, be sure to stop by the Wellfield Botanic Gardens, which is full of flowers in the warmer months and is decorated with lights in the winter. Events are regularly scheduled at these gardens, and there is a play area for children to enjoy. Another great stop is the Hall of Heros Superhero Museum, where you can view comic-book and superhero memorabilia, plus a replica Bat Cave.
