In celebration of Indiana’s 2016 Bicentennial, 15 geocaches have been placed throughout St. Joseph County near historic sites or places of interest. It is our goal to highlight interesting areas in the county, as well as to introduce new cachers to the hobby.
Osceola was named after the leader of the Seminole and incorporated in 1911. This “Little Town with a Big Heart” (population about 2500) is nestled between the cities of Mishawaka and Elkhart along Hwy 933 (Lincolnway), which is part of the national coast-to-coast Lincoln Highway. The town hall is located at the only stop light in town. The annual Osceola Bluegrass Festival at Fern Hunsberger Park happens on the third weekend of August. Sponsored by the Osceola Business Association, it’s a popular family event with music, business and craft booths, and food vendors.
