Simpler Times Village

Simpler Times Village

It sounds like a living museum of historic homes, but actually it's a planned community south of Anderson in east central Indiana, combining traditional neighborhood development with a more rural feel. "Simpler Times Village is unique because residents will be able to live, work and enjoy agriculture all in one place. You can open a bed and breakfast, own a simple vacation cabin or build a fine estate. You can have gardens and chickens in your backyard. You may hang up a pretty sign to say that you sell pottery from your home!" (Via Rod Dreher, who describes it as If Thomas Kinkade were a crunchy con new urbanist.)
