Scott County’s countryside and climate make it an ideal place for enjoying wild, open natural areas and for farming crops such as tomatoes, corn and beans. On of America’s largest vegetable canneries, today known as Morgan Foods, was established here in 1899 to preserve locally grown products. Hardy Lake provides a natural environment for popular summer water sports and is Indiana’s smallest state-operated reservoir.
