A view of historic Story, Indiana, a quaint little village on the edge of Brown County State Park, in Indiana. Founded 1851, the town and its famous Story Inn, were founded by farmers trying make a living from the marginal soils of the hilly area that is Brown County, Indiana. The town and the inn went through various phases of growth and decline, and the surrounding countryside saw much of its original farming population leave and the land they left behind turned into Indiana’s largest state park.
