Just 10 minutes north of Monticello, Indiana on the Tippecanoe River, you won’t be lost, but every care in the world – pfft! – gone. You’re just minutes from everything a vacation needs, and then pull back into Lost Acres and you’re a million miles away, woods on one side and wide-open countryside on the other. Find yourself at Lost Acres! We planted Lost Acres in the prime spot of the lake area to give you the ultimate home base, a mature, quiet, private camp steps away from every exciting activity the area has to offer. Every RV guest enjoys complete electric, water, and sewer hookups. Everybody has access to WIFI, a well-stocked camp store, laundry, and a community clubhouse. There are really two Lost Acres, well, two personalities. One is the go-getter partying at the pool, to live music, dancing, riding the wagon rides, playing cornhole games and bingo, doing crafts ­– really, you name it. Then there’s the laid-back, catch-up on your reading, snoozing, bird-watching, relaxing by the campfire type … you know the drill. We accommodate both.

For 10 days each July, Peru celebrates the Circus City Festival with rides, crafts, food, games, and more. The highlight, however, is the live amateur circus that has performances throughout the festival. A unique and authentic experience that echoes the early heyday of the circus, this is a fun event not to be missed. Performers are locals, some of whom are direct descendants of professional performers in the earlier shows. Even if a visit is timed to occur outside of July, a visit to the small but impressive International Circus Hall of Fame might be worth the trip.

🦬 5th Generation Bison Farm Our family represents the fifth generation on this land, and we are excited to be raising the national mammal—the American bison—on the rich grass pastures of Northern Indiana. We follow agricultural rotational grazing methods to ensure our land and animals thrive. We started our "hobby" herd in 2021 during the pandemic while searching for healthier food options. We knew bison was a superior source of protein, rich in both minerals and vitamins. Beyond being a healthy choice, bison are iconic symbols of American history and are truly majestic to observe here on the farm. Shortly after starting our herd, we began receiving calls from other Hoosier families who wanted to purchase our products. We are now proud to provide bison for families across the state and beyond! Over the years, we have enjoyed meeting visitors from all over Indiana, many other states, and thirteen different countries. We currently offer meat, skulls, and hides, as well as walking and wagon tours.
