Main Street Pendleton

Who we are

Downtown Pendleton is our historic community’s commercial nerve center and cultural nucleus. 

Therefore, our mission at Main Street Pendleton is to cultivate and conserve a viable downtown district emblematic of our community’s high value on the quality of life that residents and visitors alike have come to expect.  We believe that a strong emphasis on downtown preservation and innovative development is an essential component of the integrity and stability of our beloved community.

As an accredited Indiana Main Street program, our nonprofit organization, comprised of local volunteers, fosters collaborations with businesses, community groups, and residents to create opportunities that enrich community connectedness while preserving downtown Pendleton’s historic character, charm, and cultural vibrancy.

Main Street is a national movement – and a local grassroots network of passionately committed community change-makers who embrace the Four Point Approach developed by Main Street America that offers a road map for locally-owned, locally-driven cultural and economic prosperity.
