The hometown feel of Bristol invites you in to discover everything it has to offer. The Elkhart Civic Theatre resides inside the iconic Bristol Opera House, which dates back to 1897.

When you’re ready to wash it all down, do it with a glass of authentic Indiana wine at Fruit Hills Winery and Orchard. This family-owned business opened in 2010 thanks to a passion and dream. In addition to traditional reds and whites, they offer a Hard Cider you have to taste! You can buy bottles to take with you, but first, buy a couple of glasses and enjoy on their deck, overlooking the orchard and providing the most stress-free view you will ever enjoy with a glass in your hand.
