Sullivan County is blessed with a warm, kind
hearted citizenry that has always prided itself in being
progressive in the opportunities it offers to our children
and adults as well as knowing the importance of providing
amenities for visitors who are warmly received.
The county has a wonderfully modern hospital
with an experienced staff of professional, courteous,
physicians, nurses and technicians. Sullivan County has
an exemplary ambulance service and has just recently
become a part of the Air-Evac system for the more critical
cases to quickly get to one of the closest trauma
centers should an emergency arise.
There are numerous civic clubs and organizations
available throughout the county that strive for community
betterment, and provide our local citizens with
meeting halls, activities and provide funds for charitable
purposes, raised through their efforts.
We have a handful of small locally owned hotel/
motel facilities in the county, which are always open and
eager to welcome visitors. Some with rich histories like
the Hotel Stanley built at the turn of the century and still
holding the old world charm. Of course there are the
more modern facilities like the Milan Motel, Green City
Hotel, and Waugh’s Bed and Breakfast.
Sullivan County offers shopping facilities
with grocery stores, variety stores, dollar stores, lumber
yard, electronics, feed and fertilizer, farm equipment,
hunting supply stores, auto parts, appliances
and furniture stores, antiques and collectibles, beauty
shops, and a host of others. Also available locally are
towing services and repair facilities for those unfortunate
times when such services might be needed. The
county also has several very good restaurants, offering
a variety of cuisine with most serving traditional
American dishes.

Also available in Sullivan County is public
transportation, banking facilities, a Senior Center that
serves a hot lunch every weekday, delivering to
those who are homebound. A very good newspaper
in the Milan Standard, a public library, which proudly
offers a sizable collection of children’s books, fiction,
non-fiction and more for adults, and research facilities
with a great genealogy and history collection.
One can also find a genealogy library, and historical
museum as well as nearly any denomination Christian
church one might desire. Sullivan County also
has a fine Latino Center located on the square in Milan.
Each community offers from one to several
meeting facilities with several, offering community
centers that are available to rent at reasonable rates
for reunions, meetings and family gatherings.
Humphreys, Winigan, Milan, Green City, and Pollock,
all have such facilities. Greencastle has the “Opra
Hall”, Milan is also proud of our Rebekah’s and the
American Legion, both of which offer their facilities
for rent for special occasions.
The county has not forgotten other recreational
needs either. Golf, bowling, a movie theater,
summer softball and soccer, a swimming pool and
several historical places are available. The restored
depots in Milan and Green City are two historical
sites we are very proud of.
Sullivan County is truly blessed with people
of amazing talent. To try to list them would be an insult
to the ones that would no doubt be missed. Suffice
it to say we have gifted actors, artists, authors,
furniture artisans, musicians, and vocalists. This list
could go on and on including crafters, quilters, photographers
and more. At nearly all local events, you
will find talent galore.
