Adjacent lies the Studebaker National Museum, a proud chronicler of South Bends automotive and industrial prowess, where iconic Studebaker vehicles and "National Treasures" like Abraham Lincoln's fateful carriage lie in honor. Quench your thirst for knowledge and park your RV amidst the scenic beauty and historical grandeur of South Bend.
