Billie Creek Village information


Billie Creek Village was a 70-acre open-air living history museum and park, filled with 38 historical buildings and structures, and hundreds of antiques and artifacts. It is located at 39°45′41″N 87°12′07″W / 39.7614298°N 87.2019582°W / 39.7614298; -87.2019582 near Rockville, Adams Township, Parke County, Indiana in the area known as the "Covered Bridge Capital of the World" for the county's 31 covered bridges. It was formed in 1964/1965 by residents of Parke County, and opened its doors in 1969.[1] The group Parke County, Inc. helped to form it, and a separate group, Billie Creek Village, Inc, was formed for operating it.[2] The village took its name from nearby Williams Creek.[3]

The buildings are from the turn of the century and range from an 1830s Log Cabin to the 1913 Schoolhouse.[4]

The Billie Creek Inn sits across the road, and as of 2012, is separate from Billie Creek Village.
