Whether you still live in the Hoosier state or have since moved away, there are certain things that will always remind you of this incredible state. It doesn’t matter where you live now — if your heart is in Indiana, these 9 things will always remind you of home.
- The State Fair.

- Fields of corn.

- Tractor jams.

- Covered bridges.

- Rural drives like this.

- Race Day.

- Basketball.

- This sandwich.

- This awesome beach.
