When it comes to our homes, Hoosiers love displaying items that are important to us. While it’s true that every Hoosier is unique, there are certain similarities that bind us all. Here are 9 things you’re bound to find in every true Indiana home.
- State-shaped decor
wikimedia Whether it’s a cutting board, throw pillow, canvas, or poster, every Hoosier has something with the state shape on it. Kudos if you have one with a heart illustrating the location of your city or town.
- Fresh Vegetables or Herbs
pixabay Hoosiers love fresh produce and most of us have gardens of our own. Even if it’s just a spice or two, almost every Hoosier has fresh produce, from our own garden or local farmers market.
- Insect Repellent
wikimedia We love being outdoors, even if the world outside sometimes bites. Don’t worry - every Hoosier has some bug spray nearby, and many even have citronella candles or natural concoctions to help keep those pests away.
- Sports Memorabilia

- Cornhole Set
Ryan Snyder/Flickr Hoosiers love playing outdoors, and cornhole is one of our favorite pastimes at parties, events, or outdoor picnics. You’re bound to find this iconic game in almost all Indiana homes.
- Euchre Cards

- Plants

- Allergy Medicine

- A Helpful Host
Ricky Montalvo/Flickr The Hoosier state is arguably one of the friendliest states in the country. Inside any Indiana dwelling you’re bound to find an inviting host who makes sure you have everything you need to feel right at home.
Is this list true for you and your home? What did we leave off?
