Charlestown, IN

Once we got set up we were hungry and in no real mood to cook, so decided to head into town for some pizza.

Downtown Charlestown, Indiana is only 5 minutes form the State Park so off we went.

Unbeknownst to us, the city square was celebrating the Founders Day Festival with live music and food booths.

As they were just in the process of setting up we went to the Charlestown Pizza Company.

What a good choice that was. Excellent pizza, a beer menue spanning several pages and including German and Belgian beer as well as local brew. We decided on a local KY Kölsch and asked the proprietor what other local beer was available. He returned with 2 small glasses of Milewide IPA, brewed across the river in Louisville, Kentucky.

After the excellent pizza (of which half went home with us) we walked around the small city square were time had stood still.

Heading home to digest the pizza, Kölsch and local IPA. But not before taking a short walk along the Ohio River, so we headed to the boat ramp at Charlestown State Park.

And then we encountered the Ranney Wells, a left over of the Indiana Army Ammunitions Plant that predates the State Park.
