Evansville sits on a bend of the Ohio River in southwestern Indiana, a river city with a downtown riverfront, museums, and a university presence. The Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Science offers art collections, local history, and a planetarium near the river, while the riverfront itself provides walking paths, a casino riverboat district nearby, and views across to Kentucky. Downtown Evansville mixes historic buildings with new development, giving the riverfront a working city feel rather than a resort polish.
