The Forge on Main

Located two miles north of downtown Evansville, Jacobsville took its name from the fact that it originally consisted of the area around Hannah Jacobs' farmhouse. Bosse Field, home of the Evansville Otters, serves as the main attraction in this neighborhood. Stop by for a game and see if you recognize this famous stadium from its scenes in the movie "A League of Their Own." If you want to get active, head over to Jacobsville Neighborhood Park, where you can toss a football around or take your kids to play in the fun house.

When you have an apartment in Jacobsville, expect the tempting smell of good food whenever you step outside. You can find several of the hot spots by walking down Main Street, including Dilegge's, one of the neighborhood's finest Italian restaurants. You can't go wrong with the Parmesan, whether you prefer it with chicken, veal, or eggplant.
