  • The Oliver Mansion and Gardens – 897 Thomas Street
    The Oliver Mansion and Gardens is a favorite destination for city visitors looking for South Bend homes for sale. Once home to the 19th-century industrialist J.D. Oliver and his family, the mansion consists of a three-story Queen Anne-style house with 38 rooms designed with elaborate beamed ceilings, carved woodwork, 14 massive fireplaces, and original furnishings. It was one of the first South Bend homes to have electricity. Surrounding the mansion, there are 2.5 acres of beautiful, sprawling gardens that house a fountain, pergola, teahouse, tennis lawn, and rose garden. The Oliver Mansion and Gardens is listed on the National Record of Historic Places.

  • South Bend Museum of Art – 120 South DR Martin Luther King JR Blvd.
    There's no better way to explore your creative passions than a visit to the South Bend Museum of Art. You can browse a variety of current and upcoming art exhibitions throughout the year, explore a large collection of artists, and even submit your own artwork for review by the art committee. If you're interested in classes, the Museum of Art offers studio classes and scholarship-based workshops in painting, ceramics, weaving, metalwork, darkroom photography, and 2D and 3D design. Open studios are scheduled when there are no classes or special events.
