Dog Walking in Knightstown
Knightstown is a town in Wayne Township, Henry County, Indiana, along the Big Blue River. Founded in 1827, Knightstown was named for Jonathan Knight, an engineer on the National Road, and a post office has operated there since 1833. Knightstown’s biggest claim to fame is as the setting for the 1986 film Hoosiers. The Hoosier Gym was used in the making of the film.
A wonderful area to take the pooch for a ramble is the Knightstown Historic District. The district developed between about the 1830s and 1936, and its many excellent examples of Italianate, Greek Revival, and Gothic Revival architecture include the Knightstown Academy, which was built in 1876 as a Quaker Academy. After the building ceased to be used as an academy, it was used for many years as the local public high school, and it was the gymnasium here that was used as the home court of the Hickory Huskers in the movie Hoosiers.
Knightstown hosts two annual festivals: Jubilee Days held in early-mid June and The Hoosier Fall Festival held in September.
If you’re planning on extending your stay in the area, the Quality Inn & Suites in nearby Greenfield accepts two pets up to 100 lbs. for an additional fee of $10 per night.

Take a ramble around the shaded streets (great for those hot summer days), and then head over to Sunset Park. Here, you and the pooch can kick back and watch the local kids having a ball on the adventure playground. The playground even has sprinklers that turn it into a water park in the summertime. From Sunset Park, it’s only a short amble over to the Knightstown Historic District, or to the Main Street, where you can grab a coffee at the Hoosiers Home Court Café.

The Indiana portion of the corridor extended from Richmond, Indiana, through Indianapolis to the eastern border of Illinois, and it was along these tracks that the body of President Abraham Lincoln was carried back to Illinois on April 30, 1865. The longest section of the Pennsy Trail goes through the city of Greenfield. The trail is nearly 6 miles long and passes through farmland and the Greenfield golf course, as well as the famous Brandywine Creek, mentioned in James Whitcomb Riley's poem, "Old Swimmin' Hole".
