Richmond, Indiana, is the home of the National Swine Registry’s Weanling Pig Extravaganza, and it’s a popular pick-up point for spring pig purchases. If you’re Richmond bound this week be sure to check out some of these great stops, and se out – beyond the barn.

Square Donuts hasn’t cut any corners when turning out their tasty morning pastries (both figuratively and literally) for nearly half a century. This donut proves that it’s not the shape, but the taste that makes a donut. Try them for yourselves, and you’ll never judge a donut by its shape again.

The Model T Museum is tucked into Richmond, Indiana’s Historic Depot District. Maintained by the Model T Ford Club of America, this small, but mighty museum houses an ever-changing car and memorabilia collection.

This locally-owned restaurant guarantees everything they serve will be always fresh and always Italian. Their menu touts imported pasta, wood-fired pizza, steaks and sea food. If you don’t think you can go beyond the barn long enough for a sit down meal, Galo’s also offers carry out.

If you’re not in the mood for Italian, grab a sandwich at another local favorite located in the historic part of town Little Sheba’s. Not only does this joint have lots of character, but they have a diverse menu that’s great for lunch.
