What it’s like
The place. New Salisbury is a very small community in Harrison County, Indiana, where people know their neighbors and the pace is quiet. Homes here cost somewhat more than many would expect for a place this size, and across the county household incomes sit at a comfortable middle level. Winters are cold but not harsh, summers are hot, and rain and melted snow fall steadily through the year, with only light snowfall in winter.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in manufacturing, shops, and transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Harrison County, the largest workplaces include Caesars Southern Indiana, Harrison County Hospital and South Harrison Com Schools. Joblessness across the county is low and has barely changed from a year ago, though the county had slightly fewer jobs last year than the year before.
Things to do. Indiana Caverns, a cave park, is a short drive away. Farther afield, Wyandotte Caves is a well-known tourist attraction, and the Louisville Zoo is a longer drive away. Falls of the Ohio State Park, a protected area along the river, is another longer drive.
