Brown County State Park & Log Cabin Tour



We spent a wonderful weekend camping at Brown County State Park. It is a lovely park located outside of Nashville Indiana. There is so much to do and see. During our visit we took out our bicycles and enjoyed the spectacular vista's overlooking the mountainside. We were lucky enough to be there during a full moon.

Brown County offers a Log Cabin Tour the first weekend of June each year arranged by the Psi Iota Xi Sorority. You can purchase a ticket for $15 and drive the back roads of Brown County to visit five different log cabin and country homes. This was our fifth visit and we had a great time visiting the cabins and enjoying a wonderful picnic lunch on the lawn beside a small country church.

One of our favorite homes was a spectacular log pole pine cabin. It had breathtaking views of the forest and a lovely pond. We were so surprised to find that one of the other cabins on the tour was built by someone I had worked with 30 years ago. It was once a one bedroom cabin that had been expanded now to a beautiful home. The house and most of the furniture has been built by the couple.

We were camping this weekend with our Good Sam's camping club-Freedom Travelers. We enjoyed some great meals and fellowship together. The highlight of each evening was sitting around the camp fire. Our next camp out will be over July 4th at Johnson County Park.
