Large cities excluded, there is something appealingly old-fashioned about a town with two state names. Indiana, Pa., 55 miles east of the booming steel town of big sister Pittsburgh, is just such a place in time. A Main Street art gallery, town hall, cafes, antique shops and boutiques, along with hiking and biking trails, define the town. Indiana is also known as the Christmas Tree Capital of the World. The nation’s first evergreen nursery was established here in 1938, and the area’s nurseries are the largest in the United States. Indiana County boasts more than 200 tree growers today.

There is a genuine feel here in Indiana, a town completely without pretension — very much like its iconic, home-grown hero, James Maitland Stewart.
