Fans of American football will also want to visit the College Football Hall of Fame, which features interesting perspectives on the game and inductee videos. Whether or not you remember the Studebaker automobile, which saw its demise in the early 1960s, you're sure to enjoy the Studebaker National Museum, featuring more than 75 vehicles from the history of the company, beginning with horse-drawn carriages. South Bend has several fine museums, including the South Bend Regional Museum of Art and the Northern Indiana Center for History, a complex of four museums. And don't leave without trying truffles or fudge from the South Bend Chocolate Company. « less
