      I. Introduction to Brown County

      As autumn arrives each year, Brown County, Indiana, is widely considered one of the most beautiful places in America. Located 40 miles south of Indianapolis on State Road 135, it is home to the largest State Park in Indiana, one of the most popular parks in the United States. The area enjoys an abundance of unspoiled natural resources; hill country terrain with spectacular views; a wide variety of opportunities for recreation, arts and entertainment; excellent access to education and culture; and a diversity of colorful people from many different backgrounds and walks of life.

      Brown County is among the least populated of Indiana’s 92 counties, but enjoys a number of qualities that make it a great place to live, work and visit.

      According to An Assessment and Inventory of Brown County’s Rich Heritage, Brown County is not like other lightly populated counties in Indiana. With just 15,000 residents (81st in the state) Brown County has a population density of just 48 people per square mile, compared with 182 statewide. However, Brown County has by far the highest concentration of forested land of any of Indiana’s 92 counties with nearly 90% coverage and almost no large farms at all. The early settlers lived a rugged pioneer type of life for many years. Their cabins and small settlements were mere niches in the great forest that covered hills and valleys. Much of the county’s 312 square miles are State and Federal lands or privately owned and not open to development.

      Camping, hiking, horseback riding, outdoor sports, hunting and fishing are plentiful. More than three million visitors arrive each year, to share
