Ellettsville is the second-largest town in Monroe County, sitting about seven miles northwest of Bloomington along State Routes 37 and 46. It's a town built on limestone — you can see it along the Limestone Heritage Trail downtown, and in the historic quarries that once inspired the movie Breaking Away.
