What it’s like
The place. Metamora is a very small community in Franklin County, Indiana, with a population among the smallest of any town its readers are likely to compare it with. Typical home values here run well above what many people expect for rural Indiana. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and a fair amount of snow, while summers turn properly warm by July. Rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year.
Work. Residents of Metamora most often work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by manufacturing, the building trades and shops. Across Franklin County, some of the largest workplaces are Batesville Tool & Die, a metal stamping and manufacturing firm, along with the Franklin County Community School district and Franklin County Government. Unemployment across the county has been a little lower than a year earlier, and the county has gained jobs over the past year.
Things to do. For time outdoors, the Whitewater River and Harker's Run are both rivers, and Versailles State Park is a protected area, each a longer drive away. In winter, Perfect North Slopes is a ski area, also a longer drive away. The Richmond Art Museum is a museum for a quieter day out, likewise a longer drive from town.
