US-231, which makes up most of Main Street in Bloomfield, cuts west to the center of town, where it intersects with State Road 157 and State Road 54, forming the downtown area. From there, US-231 veers south out of town, eventually meeting up with the southern extension of I-69. Residents can also reach Bloomington by heading east on State Road 54.

While Bloomfield offers a good variety of home styles, navigating these choices to find the perfect home can be a challenge. That's where our agents come in. They have the inside knowledge to help make searching for your new home both thorough and thoroughly enjoyable.

Shopping and Dining

While Bloomfield has a thriving commercial downtown area, the highlight of the Bloomfield shopping and dining experience begins each May when the annual Farmer's Market opens. This eclectic, family-oriented market stretches through all the summer months and has become a destination event for those looking to do a little shopping and for those who just want to unwind.  Featuring local fruits, vegetables, crafts, and weekly events such as live music and contests, the Farmer's Market serves as a true focal point for the Bloomfield community, bringing its residents together in a way that few other towns can match. Every June, Bloomfield hosts the largest town-wide yard sale in the county.

Of course, year-round shopping is available as well. Shops stretch out around Bloomfield's downtown area, which runs along Main Street in the center of town. Numerous local venues provide a real small-town shopping experience, and for your more extensive shopping needs, Bloomington or Terre Haute has it all covered.

Great dining options are of course available too, including several Main Street eateries such Spot Lounge, Pepperoni Grill, China House, and the local coffee shop favorite, Litehouse Lunch Box.

Culture and Entertainment

Bloomfield features a very rich cultural heritage, even dating back hundreds of years before the town was founded in 1824, as evidenced by a pre-historic Native American site unearthed by excavation teams from Ball State University. Since its founding nearly 200 years ago, its culture and history has only grown stronger.

The Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana recognizes over 180 historical sites in the Bloomfield area and centered in downtown Bloomfield, home of the Bloomfield Commercial Historic District. The crown-jewel of the district is the Romanesque architecture of the Greene County Courthouse although residents also enjoy the Moss Opera House and old post office. Just outside of town is the Richland-Plummer Creek Bridge, which was built in 1883 and is touted as one of the best preserved covered bridges in Indiana as well as the spectacular Tulip Viaduct, a 2,295-foot railroad bridge.

Bloomfield also houses Shawnee Summer Theater, which has been running continuously since 1960, making it the oldest continuously-running summer theater in Indiana. But the real prize of the Bloomfield cultural scene is the annual Bloomfield Apple Festival and Parade, which draws thousands of festival-goers every summer.
