Gateway to Chain O' Lakes

About this city

Also known as: Gateway to Chain O' Lakes

Albion is a peaceful historic town serving as the county seat of Noble County, nestled in the rolling hills and lake country of northeastern Indiana. Incorporated in 1848, the town center is framed by a remarkably beautiful court square, dominated by the majestic Romanesque Revival-style Noble County Courthouse built in 1889. Albion serves as a primary rural gateway to the extensive wetland wilderness of Chain O' Lakes State Park. It perfectly retains its quintessential Midwestern small-town architectural layout, offering a serene countryside escape with deep agricultural roots and well-preserved late 19th-century pioneer history.
