Turtle Days
Churubusco Community Park, Churubusco, IN
![]()
A small-town festival built around Oscar, the giant snapping turtle a local farmer swore he saw in his pond in 1949 and could never catch despite draining the lake. Churubusco has celebrated the legend every June since, with a parade, carnival, and 5K race through what it now calls Turtletown, USA. The story once made national news and still draws visitors looking for Oscar's descendants.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
