Industry thrives at the Crossroads of Southern Indiana
Seymour was first settled in the 1850s after the construction of two major railways – the Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianapolis Railroad and the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad – which intersected where this city sits today. “It’s known as the crossroads of Southern Indiana,” says Darrin Boas, clerk-treasurer of the City of Seymour. Today, Seymour is better known as the spot where Interstate 64 meets U.S. Route 50. The city also has a reputation as being the place families move for job opportunities. “We’re a net importer for employees,” Boas says. “Unemployment in the area is less than three percent. We have a lot of factories – Walmart, automotive, pharmaceutical. Vital Farms is coming to town, and there’s going to be a couple hundred more jobs soon, too.” Seymour’s role as a center of industry gives it a growing, thriving population while still maintaining its small-town charm. “We’re growing,” Boas says. “Between the last two censuses, we grew 10 percent. Seymour continues to grow as industry continues to move in. It’s still small enough where you know a lot of people but also large enough where you can get about anything you need.”
Downtown Seymour has tons of retail options for you to explore.

Seymour’s ranch-style homes and new developments
The median sales price for a home in Seymour is $235,000, about $170,000 below the national median. Plus, “We have relatively low, stable property taxes,” Boas says. The average home value in Seymour has also steadily increased since 2020 in correlation with the city’s population growth. Seymour offers residents large lots, with over half of its listings coming in at greater than a half-an-acre. Brick ranch-style homes are typical in Seymour, and the city’s outskirts provide a mix of newly built and to-be-built developments, often featuring new traditional architecture. “There’s construction going on all the time,” Boas says. “In the last couple of years, we added a senior living complex, some new apartments and some new housing developments on the outskirts of Seymour, just outside the city limits. We have about five or six contractors who have been buying up dilapidated houses, tearing them down and rebuilding them.”

Shields Park, the Actors Community Theatre of Seymour and the Southern Indiana Center for the Arts
The City of Seymour also operates 13 public parks and recreation facilities, including Shields Park, a nearly 13-acre green space with a skatepark and a pool. “We invest quite a bit of money into our parks,” Boas says. “We’re looking to spend a few million dollars on upgrades for our city pool, too." Seymour also operates 14 miles of public biking and walking trails. This city also has a rich arts scene featuring organizations like the Actors Community Theatre of Seymour, or ACTS, and the Southern Indiana Center for the Arts, known as SICA. ACTS hosts a variety of theatrical performances in Seymour, while SICA promotes the arts by hosting art classes and displaying rotating exhibits. SICA is also home to the Conner Museum of Antique Printing, which features two printing presses in an 1800s-era workshop.

Restaurants along U.S. Route 50
Seymour’s signature cuisine is comfort food, with many longstanding local restaurants having loyal customers. “We have mom-and-pop restaurants,” Boas says. “That old, greasy spoon type of place. Most of our restaurants run from [Interstate] 65 west along Highway 50.” Founded in 1962, The Townhouse Café has won awards for having the best breakfast in town and for its catering, burgers and atmosphere. Also started in 1962, The Fish Stand is a cozy local restaurant on Ewing Street known for its fried fish. Larrison’s Diner is a hangout for all ages, where teens and adults enjoy burgers, fries and Big Red.

Weather and the Seymour Police Department
Seymour has a humid subtropical climate with thunderstorms and tropical cyclones during the summer and mild winters. “We have all four seasons,” Boas says. “The winters are pretty mild. We might have a week where it hits zero, but it’s 30ish for most of the winter. Summer gets pretty hot and pretty humid in July and August.” According to FBI data, the property crime rate reported by the Seymour Police Department has steadily decreased since 2018, while its violent crime rate has not seen significant change.
Seymour Public Transit and the Louisville International Airport
“Seymour is about an hour south of Indy, an hour north of Louisville and an hour and a half west of Cincinnati,” Boas says. “Its location makes it great to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time.” Interstate 65 borders the town to the east, and U.S. Route 50 is the main thoroughfare through the city. Seymour Public Transit provides door-to-door shared-ride services in the Seymour area. When traveling out of town, Seymour residents fly out of the Louisville International Airport, 60 miles south.
Seymour Oktoberfest
For over 50 years, Seymour has hosted an annual Oktoberfest in its downtown. This celebration of the area’s German heritage includes live music, artisan vendors, a biergarten and carnival rides and games. “We have 50-plus food booths, and we shut down the downtown for it,” Boas says. “It’s always packed. It’s our biggest local event.”
