Review & FAQ:

Merom is a scenic small town with fewer than 200 residents, home of the Union Christian College, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Merom Bluffs rise 200 feet above the Wabash River. The rich historical town was once home to a ferry service that brought people and livestock across the river between Indiana and Illinois. In Merom Bluff Park visitors can see an old Civil War cannon at the site where the Johnson brothers completed the first successful flight of a monoplane. The Chautauqua House at the park was the site of many famous speeches by traveling orators throughout the early 20th century, including the prohibitionist Carrie Nation.
