Places to visit in Santa Claus, Indiana
Santa Claus, Indiana is a great destination that LOVES sharing the Christmas spirit all year round. They love it so much that they named their town after Santa. The town was forced to come up with a new name after they were declined by the USPS for choosing a name that was already established.

With a few quick arrangements to our schedules we made the trip down a few weeks later.
