Blue House on Whitewater Canal – Metamora – Indiana

Blue House on Whitewater Canal - Metamora - Indiana

Purchase Print

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.
