Doing Business in Goshen, Indiana

As the Elkhart County seat, Goshen centers on its historic courthouse square, where independent shops, coffee houses, restaurants, and professional offices line Main Street. The Goshen Theater hosts concerts and community events, and First Fridays bring crowds downtown for music, art, and food on the first Friday of the month.

Goshen College adds a creative, globally minded community, and the Millrace trail gives walkers and cyclists a scenic path along the Goshen Millrace. The Pumpkinvine Nature Trail starts here and connects to Middlebury and Shipshewana, bringing cyclists through town all season.

Each summer the Elkhart County 4-H Fair in Goshen draws families from across the region. Beyond events, the city supports a deep base of manufacturers, healthcare providers, and trades, so Goshen businesses serve a wide range of customers from students to plant managers.
