The World's Most Beautiful Places
A rusty metal utility with the words “City of Jeffersonville Established 1802” includes subtle design elements hinting at Jeffersonville’s past as a center of boat manufacturing, at the Jeffboat shipyards on the Ohio River, which were founded back in 1834 by James Howard. Jeffersonville is located in Indiana, across the river from Louisville, Kentucky.
An old historic blue house on the edge of a restored section of the Whitewater Canal, in Metamora, Indiana. While the Whitewater Canal only operated as a shipping route between 1836-1965, it was maintained to provide hydraulic power for a series of water-powered mills that processed grain, cotton, and made paper. The town derives its name from the play the Last of the Wampanoags, written by John Augustus Stone in 1829.
Today the town is largely a tourist attraction that draws people to unique shops with a variety of old buildings, boat and train rides, the canal, and an old grist mill that remains on the canal.

On the other side of the river is Jeffersonville, and Clarksville, Indiana.
