Floyd County is accessible from Louisville on I-64 via the Sherman -Minton Bridge and covers 150 square mikes. New Albany is the county seat, and has an impressive display of fabulous older homes, including Victorian mansions and early 20th-century bungalows. Mansion Row in New Albany offers a glimpse if life during New Albany's "Age of Elegance" and reflects the community's price and dedication to preserving its rich heritage. A perfect example is the Culbertson Mansion. With its hand-painted ceilings, carved rosewood staircase, marble fireplaces and crystal chandeliers, the Culbertson Mansion signifies the affluence of a man once considered to be the wealthiest in Indiana.
New Albany claims half of the county's population of 71,997, making it the largest city on the Indiana side of the Greater Louisville area. Its Harvest Homecoming, held in October, is Indiana's second largest festival. Plenty of historical and artistic venues make Floyd County a quaint retreat and inspiring destination. The Carnegie Center for Art and Historic invites the community to enjoy art classes, family workshops and exhibits in its art gallery and history museum.
Tourism is a big contributor to the local economy, as is manufacturing and retail.
