A view of Trail 3 in Turkey Run State Park, near Marshall, Indiana. Trail 3 is quite unique as you follow a deeply carved sandstone gorge, surrounded by deep green forest, moss, and vegetation. Throw in a creek running through it all, ladders, and plenty of people and its almost like an obstacle course at a water park. Reminds me a little of the Narrows in Zion Canyon National Park, but over a much shorter distance, and with a lot more climbing, and quicker twists and turns.

The Story Inn has a long history dating back to 1882. It lies at the center of the town of Story, Indiana, which was founded by farmers trying to 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.

A view of the George Rogers Clark homestead, where he resided from 1803-1809. It was at this location in 1803 that a famous meeting between William Clark (George’s brother) and Merriweather Lewis, occurred, to plan and prepare the Lewis and Clark Expedition. George Clark resided on the property another 6 years, until a severe stroke led to an accident that left him disabled, and unable to live on his own. He ultimately moved across the Ohio River to Locust Grove, a property owned by his sister and her husband. Over the course of his life, George Clark was an explorer, surveyor, and military officer in the United States Army. He is also one of the founders of Clarksville, which he donated land to, from a land grant given him by the states of Virginia that covered much of present day Clark and Floyd counties in Indiana.

The cabin pictured was a replica of the cabin built by George Clark, and was burned down in an arson fire in 2021
