Greensburg’s visual centerpiece is its clocktower — and the mulberry tree growing out of it. The strange sight made the city an unlikely tourist destination along Interstate 74, about halfway between Indianapolis and Cincinnati. But beyond its claim to fame, Greensburg is a hub for suburban living on the southeast end of Indiana. The community loves high school basketball and its emerging dining scene and appreciates its connections to major industries. “I’d say it’s a small town with a lot of agricultural influence,” says Erica Gunn, the marketing director for Visit Greensburg.
Greensburg’s Honda plant is a major contributor to the local economy in Decatur County. It employs more than 2,500 people and manufactures car models like the Civic Hatchback and CR-V. Other employment centers in town include the Delta Faucet Company, Valeo Engine Cooling and Walmart.

Varied home options in southeast Indiana

Moderate summer weather brings people to parks
Decatur County Park is a local standout for outdoor leisure. The park’s core 10-acre lake is ideal for paddleboarding or feeding ducks and geese that gather nearby. The Greensburg Country Club sits on the opposite side of the lake with an 18-hole golf course that’s open to the public. Parents in town drop off kids at North Park for football and cheer practice; the park also has a backstop for spontaneous baseball games. On the southeast end, Oddfellows-Rebekah Park is home to the annual DecCo Summer Concert Series, featuring local artists and bands on the amphitheater stage. Locals can also stop by the Inclusion Park on the grounds, which is designed to be disability and sensory-friendly. “We had a retired police officer whose son had autism, and he organized the whole thing,” Gunn says. Former police chief Brendan Bridges helped organize the project in 2021.
According to the National Weather Service, summers in Greensburg are warm, with highs in the mid-80s, while winters generally reach lows in the 20s.
