Albion,
our county seat since 1846, is both the geographical and governmental center of
Noble County and is home to approximately 2,000 residents and to our historic courthouse. It is one of two
Albion structures placed on the National Register of Historic Places, with the
other being The Old Jail Museum.
This fascinating Museum, constructed of thick Indiana limestone, displays Noble
County
artifacts and gives the visitor a glimpse into life behind bars in a typical
prairie town in the 1800's. Visit both the jail....and the attached sheriff's
home and learn how his family cooked and did laundry for the inmates.
Each year, multitudes of visitors enjoy
Chain O'Lakes State Park
where visitors can rent lakeside family camping cabins or camping sites from
primitive to full-hookup. This is also a great place for swimming and boat
rental!
Black
Pine Animal Park is a
non-profit exotic animal sanctuary, and is often a "last chance" refuge for
animals in need. We exist to give
rescued and retired exotic animals a safe
haven, to educate people, and to enhance their knowledge of exotic and
endangered species, and of responsible pet ownership.
Over the past 6 years, a loving, hard-working, and
dedicated group of volunteers has given new life to
Sweet Church in rural
Albion. After years of deterioration and returning to the dust of the
prairie, Sweet Church is once again a precious place for people to gather and
memories to be made. The moment you step through the simple brick church’s
arched doors you experience a sense of peace and a
sense of living history. The little brick country church is located in Jefferson
Township, Noble County, Albion, Indiana. It was build in 1875 as a
non-denominational church and named for James Sweet who donated the land on
which it is built. The restoration process is near completion and the
church is available for use. For more information or to reserve the
church, email:

Albion is home to Noble County's newest
recreation attraction: York
Hills Horse Park. Boasting "Only horses all the time",
this beautiful 635 acre trail riding facility is open to those who want to bring
their own horse and enjoy Noble County's rolling hills, fields, and woods.
