When many people hear “Kokomo,” a certain song may pop into their heads, however, while the city of Kokomo, Indiana may not be as famous, it does boast a number of things to do for both local Midwesterns and visitors alike. History can be found at the Seiberling Mansion and the Elwood Haynes Museum, while sports fans can head over to the Kokomo Municipal Stadium for baseball or the Kokomo Speedway for some racing action. For a more unusual attraction, there’s Old Ben, the “World's Largest Steer.” Kokomo is a 1 hour 20 minute day trip from Indianapolis (
61 miles via US-31 N).
