Homes for Sale in Bremen, Indiana

A school was the first building built after the first houses were completed when this community was established in 1851. Businesses then sprung up throughout the town, and by the turn of the century, Wright’s Wood Bending Factory was the largest employer in town. Leman Spearmint Refinery opened here in 1911, leading to the town’s nickname of “Mint City.” While businesses, home styles, and life in general has changed since the foundation of the town, Bremen has remained a traditional Midwestern small town.
