Ligonier offers the greatest concentration of building in Noble County which are listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places.  Located on the western side of the county at the junction of US 6 and SR 5/US 33, Ligonier offers stunning Victorian mansions that reflect the city's rich Jewish history, two of which are beautiful bed and breakfast inns.

As part of downtown revitalization, the first in a series of building-side murals was completed in 2007.  The scene depicts how Ligonier may have appeared in 1835 when settled by Isaac Cavin. More murals are planned, with  five more to be completed by the spring of 2008.
