Straddling both Ripley and Franklin counties, Batesville is also smack dab between two major metropolitans - Indianapolis and Cincinnati.

Today, the manufacturing of hospital and health care equipment is the city’s largest economic industry. Aside from its many dining establishments, residents enjoy sports, hiking, and more at Liberty Park and Brums Woods. Easy access to I-74 makes commuting ideal for locals.
