covered bridge

to preserve, to educate, to entertain

   Travel back in time at historic Billie Creek Village. From one of the country's best Civil War Re-enactments to classic car shows to Christmas in the Village.

   There are entertainment and educational opportunities the year-round.  School Days In May make the village available to schools throughout the Midwest each Thursday and Friday in May.



      
Everyone comes away from Billie Creek Village with a favorite pioneer activity or authentic early 20th century building. The village animals are always a favorite with the children. Amiable goats and sheep graze the village barnyards during the open season along with horses and the occasional mule. 

    The village is open daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day as well as all ten days of the annual Parke County Covered Bridge Festival. The Covered Bridge Festival is held each year from the second Friday in October through the third Sunday.  Billie Creek Village is also open during special weekends during the annual Parke County Maple Fair that takes place on the last Saturday and Sunday in February as well as the first Saturday and Sunday in March.
