Hello, TGBDN:
I believe there is no question that this is a Viburnum native to your neck of the "woods" in northern Indiana. It is very likely Viburnum prunifolium as mentioned a couple times above. If you were to collect a branch now, and take it to an amenable photo spot (like a kitchen counter, or sidewalk) where you could zoom in on the delicate parts of buds, stems, etc. - then one could rule out any of the other related species.
Without further information, I think Blackhaw Viburnum is the object of your admiration. The beaked gray terminal buds from whence next spring's flowers will emerge match (usually a much longer protuberance on Nannyberry Viburnum - Viburnum lentago) and the burgundy to red fall color is typical. The foliage on those plants appears more lustrous than many typical Blackhaw Viburnum, but certainly not unheard of. The "grouping" could be the result of several seedlings growing up - most likely from bird-deposited seed from their droppings - but could also very well be a small colony of root sprouts from a single parent plant, similar to Sumac behavior. Many people are unaware of this characteristic of many of our native viburnums.
Opposite versus alternate leaves and buds should always be noticed when trying to ID - saves all kinds of wild guessing time and chasing down incorrect species.
