Celebrating 20 Years of Tourism Excellence
Nestled in the heart of Indiana, Boone County is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. And at the forefront of showcasing the
county’s wonders is Discover Boone County, an organization with a rich history and a promising future. Formerly known as the Boone County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Discover Boone County is celebrating its 20th year as an organization on February 3rd, 2024. This milestone marks a significant turning point as the organization evolves into a force with a larger presence both within and beyond the community.
A Transformation in Name and Purpose
Founded two decades ago, the organization started as the Boone County Convention and Visitors Bureau, primarily focused on promoting tourism within the county. Over the years, it has played a crucial role in highlighting Boone County’s attractions, events, and hospitality to visitors. However, as times change, so do organizations, and Discover Boone County is no exception.
In 2024, the organization decided to rebrand itself as “Discover Boone County.” This transformation reflects a broader vision – one that encompasses not only promoting tourism within the county but also actively engaging in activities that bring economic growth, cultural enrichment, and a sense of community pride. The new name mirrors the organization’s evolving role as a dynamic catalyst for Boone County’s prosperity.
A Remarkable 20-Year Journey
Celebrating its 20th anniversary on February 3rd, Discover Boone County can look back at its remarkable journey. Over the past two decades, the organization has consistently strived to showcase the county’s vibrant culture, scenic beauty, and warm hospitality to visitors from far and wide. It has been a bridge connecting the local community with tourists, enabling both to benefit from the county’s unique offerings.
Expanding Horizons: The Pioneer Printing Building
As Discover Boone County continues to evolve, one of its most exciting developments is the acquisition of the former Pioneer Printing building in Lebanon. This strategic move signifies the organization’s commitment to enhancing its presence within the community and expanding its capabilities. Once renovated, this building will become the new headquarters for Discover Boone County.
The Pioneer Printing building is more than just bricks and mortar; it represents the organization’s dedication to growth and progress. It will serve as a hub for creativity, collaboration, and innovation, where ideas are cultivated, and dreams are turned into reality. This new space will enable Discover Boone County to serve the community more effectively and efficiently.
