Delphi is a small (≈3,000) historic, walkable river-and-canal town with a friendly downtown, canal-boat rides, trails, a local brewery and an active arts scene — easy to feel settled during multi-week contracts rather than stuck in a dull hotel stay.
You’re also within easy reach of larger hubs: Lafayette/West Lafayette (about 20 miles, home to Purdue) and Kokomo (≈35 miles) for bigger-city dining, shopping and healthcare when you want more options.
