Located in the east-central part of Indiana, Richmond is a fascinating destination brimming with culture and rich history. Also known as the Mummy Capital of Indiana, the city’s cultural resources include two of Indiana’s three Egyptian mummies - one housed at the Wayne County Museum and the other held at the Joseph Moore County Museum. Deemed the birthplace of recorded jazz, Richmond is home to Gannet records and the Starr Piano Factory. Founded in the late 1800s, the factory was one of the largest piano manufacturers in the world. And with the success of the piano factory, its own recording studio was born. Later renamed Gannet Records, the studio was a place where many of the jazz greats first recorded. If you want to easily visit these and many other attractions, consider booking a vacation rental in the city. Check out our list of Airbnb vacation rentals in Richmond, Indiana, below.
