Francesville is one of Indiana’s best-kept secrets! This rural, close-knit community is nestled in Salem Township on the west side of Pulaski County on HWY 421, approximately 40 miles north of Lafayette and 40 miles south of Interstate 80/90.

The town of Francesville was laid out by James Brooks, president of the Louisville, New Albany, and Chicago Railroad in 1853. It was named in honor of his daughter, Frances.  (To continue reading about Francesville and its history, click HERE.)
