What it’s like
The place. Perrysville is a very small town in Vermillion County, Indiana, where people tend to know one another. Homes here cost less than in much of the country, and incomes across the county run below the national picture. A smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and winters are cold, with a fair amount of snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Vermillion County, the largest workplaces include Elanco Clinton, a pharmaceutical manufacturer, the South Vermillion school district, and International Paper, which makes kraft liner board. The commute to work is a fairly long one, and unemployment in the county has eased a little over the past year.
Things to do. Jericho Creek runs in or beside town, a quiet place for a walk along the water. Forest Glen Preserve, a protected natural area, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Turkey Run State Park is a longer drive away and offers trails and wooded scenery.
